A monoline, hand-drawn roman with softly rounded forms and subtly irregular outlines that read like marker or brush lettering. Strokes stay fairly consistent in thickness but wobble slightly, with occasional blunt terminals and uneven curvature that adds a worn, printed-in-ink texture. Proportions are straightforward and legible, with simple geometric construction in many capitals and open counters throughout; spacing appears gently inconsistent in a natural, handwritten way.
Well-suited to short-to-medium headlines, packaging, labels, and posters where a handcrafted, tactile feel is desirable. It can work for informal signage and brand accents, and is most effective when the textured edges and uneven rhythm are allowed to show at moderate to larger sizes.
The overall tone feels friendly and homemade, with a lightly weathered, analog character. Its imperfections create an approachable, craft-forward voice that can also suggest vintage ephemera or casual signage.
The design appears intended to mimic casual, hand-rendered lettering with a lightly distressed surface, balancing clear letterforms with enough irregularity to feel human and analog.
Capitals are clean and simple with modest quirks, while lowercase maintains a tidy, single-storey, handwritten sensibility. Numerals follow the same drawn rhythm, with rounded bowls and slightly uneven joins that keep the texture consistent across text and display sizes.
