A compact, hand-rendered roman with slightly uneven stroke edges and a subtly mottled fill that suggests worn ink or rough printing. Letterforms keep a straightforward, mostly monoline construction, but with small width fluctuations and soft, rounded corners that prevent the texture from feeling harsh. Curves (C, O, G) are gently squarish in places, counters are open, and terminals often finish with blunt, brushy ends. Numerals and punctuation share the same organic irregularity, maintaining a cohesive, low-fuss rhythm in text.
Well-suited to packaging and label design, café/food branding, event posters, book covers, and editorial callouts where a handcrafted, slightly worn look adds personality. It works best at display and larger text sizes where the textured fill and rough edges can be appreciated, while remaining readable in short passages.
The overall tone feels human and approachable—like stamped packaging, a sketchbook title, or a hand-cut sign. Its mild grunge and imperfect edges add character without tipping into aggressive distress, giving it a friendly, lived-in charm.
Likely designed to emulate a hand-inked or lightly distressed print aesthetic—combining simple, familiar letter structures with controlled imperfections to add warmth and authenticity in modern layouts.
Texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with small specks and edge wobble that read as printing noise rather than dramatic erosion. Spacing appears relatively even for a handmade style, helping the font stay legible in short paragraphs while still clearly showing its tactile surface.
