A chunky, rounded sans with softly irregular outlines and a consistent distressed texture running through the fills. Strokes are heavy and largely monoline, but the edges wobble subtly, giving the letterforms a hand-drawn, stamped, or worn-print feel. Counters are generous and open, terminals are blunt and rounded, and the overall rhythm is lively rather than geometric, with small width variations from glyph to glyph.
Well suited to display use where a friendly, handmade texture is desirable—such as posters, product packaging, café or market signage, book covers, and playful branding. It can work for short headlines and subheads, especially when printed at sizes large enough for the distress details to remain clear.
The overall tone is approachable and playful, with a cozy, crafty character. The worn-in texture adds a nostalgic, tactile feel—suggesting something printed, stenciled, or drawn with a marker—making it feel informal and human rather than polished.
The design appears intended to deliver an easygoing, hand-crafted sans that feels printed and slightly worn, combining rounded forms with an intentional distressed treatment to add warmth and authenticity in display settings.
In longer text the repeated interior speckling becomes a prominent visual feature, adding personality but also increasing tonal density. The alphabet shows a mix of rounded and slightly condensed shapes, reinforcing the handmade, imperfect consistency that reads best when the texture is meant to be seen.
