A monoline, handwritten-style sans with slightly uneven stroke weight and subtly irregular contours. Terminals are rounded and blunt, with occasional flare and wobble that suggests marker or brush pen texture rather than geometric construction. Curves are softly squared in places, counters stay open, and spacing feels loosely set, contributing to an organic rhythm across words and lines. Numerals and capitals share the same relaxed, hand-drawn logic, with small inconsistencies that read as intentional character.
Works best for display settings where texture and personality are desired: posters, book covers, packaging, labels, café menus, and social media graphics. It can also suit short UI headings or pull quotes when a friendly, handmade tone is needed, while longer body text may benefit from larger sizes and generous spacing to keep the texture from building up.
The overall tone is friendly and homemade, with a worn, crafty texture that feels approachable rather than polished. It carries a casual, slightly nostalgic personality—like hand-lettered packaging, a note on a chalkboard, or a DIY sign—adding warmth and human presence to short messages.
Designed to mimic quick hand lettering with a gently distressed finish, balancing readability with an intentionally imperfect, tactile surface. The goal appears to be adding human warmth and craft-like authenticity to contemporary layouts without becoming overly decorative.
The texture is most noticeable along stems and curves, where edges look lightly abraded and strokes show subtle thick–thin variation. Letterforms lean toward simple, open shapes, helping legibility despite the roughness, while the irregularities keep repeated letters from feeling mechanically uniform.
