A hand-drawn, marker/brush-like sans with blunt terminals, rounded corners, and visibly irregular outlines. Strokes are monolinear in feel but wobble slightly, with occasional swell and taper that suggests a textured tool rather than geometric construction. Counters are open and softly shaped, and the glyph set shows small variations in width and rhythm that read as intentionally imperfect and printed/inked. Uppercase forms are compact and friendly, while lowercase keeps simple, single-storey constructions and a straightforward, readable skeleton.
This font is well suited to display use where texture and personality are desirable: posters, flyers, packaging, café or market signage, album/playlist art, and expressive social graphics. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, especially when paired with a clean text face to keep longer reading passages comfortable.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a rugged, DIY energy. Its roughened edges and inky texture evoke handmade signage, zines, and craft packaging, balancing playfulness with a slightly gritty, street-level character.
The design appears intended to simulate confident hand lettering with a lightly worn, ink-on-paper finish. Its goal is personality and immediacy rather than strict precision, delivering a friendly display voice that feels human and tactile.
The texture is consistent across letters and numerals, giving solid cohesion while still preserving a natural, drawn spontaneity. At larger sizes the distressed edge detail becomes a key feature; at smaller sizes it may read more like soft blur or ink spread, so generous sizing and spacing help preserve clarity.
