A textured, handwritten-style font with brush-like strokes and visibly irregular contours. Letterforms keep an overall upright stance, but stroke widths fluctuate within each glyph, producing a lively high/low contrast pattern and occasional tapered terminals. Edges look rough and slightly broken, as if from dry ink or worn printing, and curves are loosely drawn with small wobbles that prevent a perfectly consistent rhythm. Caps are compact and narrow, while lowercase forms are simple and rounded with a modest, compact x-height and a slight rightward cursive influence in some joins and terminals.
Works best for short-to-medium display settings where the rough texture can be appreciated: posters, packaging, café or market branding, event materials, and editorial pull quotes. It can also add a handmade accent to logos and social graphics, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The font conveys an informal, human tone—like quick marker lettering on paper—tempered by a distressed texture that adds age, grit, and handcrafted authenticity. It feels approachable and personal rather than polished, with a slightly nostalgic, analog character.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, real-world brush or marker lettering while introducing deliberate wear and irregularity for a distressed, analog finish. The goal is a personable display face that feels printed or written by hand rather than digitally constructed.
Numerals and punctuation share the same roughened texture and variable stroke behavior, keeping the set cohesive in mixed text. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, enhancing the handmade feel and making repeated letters look less mechanical in longer passages.
