A rough, hand-rendered sans with rounded, slightly condensed shapes and visibly uneven stroke edges, as if made with a dry brush or worn marker. Terminals are blunted and irregular, counters stay open and readable, and curves show subtle wobble that prevents perfectly geometric forms. Spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably across the set, giving text a lively rhythm; numerals and capitals maintain the same textured, inked silhouette for a consistent overall color on the page.
It works well for headlines, short paragraphs, and display copy where a handmade, tactile impression is desirable—such as posters, packaging, café menus, craft and outdoor branding, and album or event graphics. The texture also supports applications that aim to mimic printwear, stamp ink, or DIY signage.
The font conveys an approachable, handmade tone with a rustic, analog feel—more craft-paper and screenprint than corporate polish. Its irregular edge texture reads as intentionally imperfect, adding warmth and personality while keeping the letterforms clear.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-inked lettering with lightly distressed edges, delivering an authentic, printed-by-hand vibe while keeping straightforward, readable forms for versatile display use.
In running text, the distressed perimeter texture remains prominent at larger sizes and becomes a soft grain at smaller sizes, so the character of the face scales with use. The design favors simple, sturdy structures over sharp detailing, helping the roughness feel controlled rather than chaotic.
