A chunky, hand-drawn sans with rounded terminals, slightly irregular stroke flow, and a gently bouncy baseline rhythm. The forms are monolinear in spirit but show visible pressure variation and wobble, creating a lively, organic silhouette. Interiors and edges carry speckled distressing and roughened texture, as if made with a marker or brush on porous paper. Counters are generally open and simple, and proportions lean compact with short ascenders/descenders and straightforward, readable shapes.
Works well for short-to-medium display copy where texture is a feature: posters, packaging labels, stickers, merchandise, and social media graphics. It can also suit children’s or casual lifestyle branding, especially when you want a hand-lettered look without losing basic readability. For best results, use at larger sizes so the distress detail stays clear.
The overall tone is friendly and crafty with a deliberately imperfect, analog feel. The distressed texture adds a worn, screen-printed personality that reads as casual, approachable, and a bit rugged. It suggests DIY energy—handmade signage, notebook lettering, or playful branding with a tactile edge.
Likely designed to emulate bold marker lettering with a worn print texture, balancing friendly handwritten shapes with a consistent, repeatable system. The goal appears to be an easygoing display face that feels handcrafted and slightly weathered while remaining legible in headline settings.
Texture appears integrated into the letterforms rather than applied as an external effect, so the speckling remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Spacing looks even for a handwritten style, and the set maintains a cohesive rhythm despite the intentional irregularities.
