A narrow, hand-drawn roman with lightly textured, uneven stroke edges and subtle waviness that suggests brush or marker on rough paper. Strokes keep a mostly monoline feel with modest contrast from pressure-like thick–thin shifts, and terminals are rounded or softly tapered rather than sharply cut. Proportions are slightly irregular across glyphs, with lively baseline wobble and variable interior shapes that read as intentionally imperfect. The short x-height and tall ascenders/descenders give the lowercase a compact, vertical rhythm, while counters stay open enough to remain readable at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where texture and personality are an asset: packaging, café or market signage, posters, book covers, and branding for handmade or artisanal goods. It can work for subheads and pull quotes, but the irregular edges and compact x-height suggest avoiding very small sizes or dense body copy.
The overall tone is approachable and crafty, with a worn-in, human touch that feels personal rather than polished. Its gentle roughness reads friendly and a bit quirky, lending a storytelling or DIY character without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand lettering while keeping a coherent upright structure for practical setting. Its controlled roughness provides a distressed, organic finish meant to add warmth and authenticity to modern layouts.
Uppercase forms are simple and upright with occasional asymmetry, and the lowercase mixes straightforward constructions with handwritten cues (notably in the single-storey shapes and looping descenders). Numerals follow the same casual drawing logic, with slight inconsistencies in width and curvature that reinforce the handmade texture.
