A hand-rendered, monoline sans with subtly irregular contours and rough, slightly blotchy edges that suggest ink on absorbent paper or worn printing. Strokes keep a mostly even thickness, but terminal shapes vary and corners are softened, producing a lively, imperfect rhythm. Proportions are straightforward and readable, with open counters and simple construction; spacing feels a touch uneven in a natural, non-mechanical way.
Well-suited to display and short-to-medium text where a handmade, tactile impression is desirable—such as posters, packaging, labels, café menus, and book covers. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or headings that benefit from a casual, printed-by-hand aesthetic.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a crafty, home-printed character. Its roughness adds a vintage, tactile feel that reads as informal and human rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to evoke an imperfect, inked look with controlled readability—capturing the feel of rough printing or marker/brush lettering while keeping letterforms simple and familiar. The intent appears to be adding personality and texture to layouts without relying on extreme distortion.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive distressed color on the page. The font maintains solid legibility in paragraph samples while still showing enough edge wear and stroke wobble to be recognizable as intentionally imperfect.
