A condensed, hand-drawn roman with uneven stroke edges and subtly wobbly contours that suggest marker or brush lettering. Letterforms are built from simple, mostly monoline strokes with rounded terminals and occasional blunt joins, creating a soft, imperfect silhouette rather than crisp geometry. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, and counters are slightly irregular, contributing to an intentionally unpolished rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals share the same casual construction, with simplified shapes and lightly distorted curves.
Works best for display roles where texture and personality are an asset: posters, event flyers, album/playlist art, casual packaging, and social media graphics. It can also suit short editorial callouts or pull quotes when a handmade, slightly distressed voice is desired, but the narrow proportions and rough edges make it less ideal for long-form body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone feels informal and human, with a slightly worn, lived-in texture that reads as crafty and approachable. Its narrow, sketchy presence gives it a quick, spontaneous energy—more zine and notebook than corporate—while remaining legible enough for short statements.
Likely designed to emulate quick hand lettering with a rough printed finish—combining a condensed footprint with organic irregularities to add character and immediacy. The goal appears to be a legible, everyday display face that feels personal and tactile rather than polished.
Uppercase forms are relatively tall and compact, while lowercase appears smaller with modest ascenders and descenders, reinforcing a tight, stacked texture in lines of text. The distressed edge treatment is consistent across the set, so the roughness reads as a deliberate stylistic layer rather than random noise.
