A hand-drawn, marker-like sans with deliberately uneven outlines and a softly blotted edge. Strokes keep a mostly monoline feel, but show subtle wobble and occasional thickening from simulated ink buildup. Counters are open and rounded, terminals are blunt, and curves look slightly lumpy, creating an organic rhythm. Overall proportions are compact, with relatively short lowercase forms and friendly, simplified shapes across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to display roles where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, packaging, album art, and branding for handmade or casual concepts. It can work in short bursts of copy, but the rough edges and compact lowercase favor larger sizes and generous spacing for comfortable readability.
The texture and irregularity give it a tactile, DIY tone that reads casual and human rather than polished. It evokes rough printing, sketchbook lettering, and imperfect signage, balancing approachability with a lightly gritty attitude.
Designed to mimic quick, hand-rendered lettering with an imperfect printed finish, prioritizing personality and tactile texture over geometric precision. The goal appears to be an expressive, approachable display voice that feels analog and slightly worn.
Letterforms maintain consistent construction while embracing irregular edges, so text feels coherent even with the distressed surface. Numerals follow the same handmade logic, with rounded forms and slightly uneven joins that reinforce the inked, analog impression.
