A rough, hand-rendered roman with slightly wobbly stems and softly irregular outlines that suggest dry-brush or worn letterpress texture. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, but the contours fluctuate, creating a lively rhythm and subtle blotting at terminals and joins. Counters are generally open and rounded, with simplified, sturdy structures and a workmanlike build; the overall spacing feels a bit loose and uneven in an intentional, human way.
Best suited to display use where texture is part of the message—posters, artisanal packaging, book covers, event flyers, and brand marks for handmade or heritage-themed goods. It can work for short passages in larger sizes when a warm, analog feel is desired, but the irregular edges are most effective in titles and emphasis text.
The font reads as approachable and craft-oriented, with a casual, storytelling tone. Its textured edges and imperfect forms evoke analog printing, handmade signage, and a gently nostalgic mood without feeling overly formal.
Likely designed to capture the look of inked lettering or aged print—adding character, warmth, and tactile texture while remaining legible and structurally familiar. The goal appears to be a dependable, readable alphabet with deliberately imperfect edges to convey authenticity and a crafted, human touch.
The uppercase has simple, confident silhouettes (notably round O/Q and a straightforward E/F), while the lowercase maintains a compact, friendly texture that keeps lines of text animated. Numerals share the same rough perimeter and slightly varied widths, reinforcing the handmade consistency across the set.
