A chunky, hand-drawn sans with rounded forms and uneven, brush-like stroke edges. The letterforms show visible texture and wobble, with occasional interior speckling and irregular counters that suggest an inky marker or dry brush. Curves are soft and slightly lopsided, terminals are blunt, and stroke joins vary subtly, giving the alphabet an organic rhythm. Numerals match the same informal construction, with simplified shapes and lively, imperfect outlines.
Works best for short-to-medium display copy where its texture and hand-made character can be appreciated—posters, playful branding, packaging callouts, social graphics, and craft or event materials. It can also support brief subheads in casual layouts, but the rough edges and lively rhythm will be most effective when set a bit larger.
The overall tone is warm and mischievous, with a DIY immediacy that feels like hand-lettered signage or doodled headlines. Its roughened texture adds energy and approachability, leaning more fun and informal than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture a bold hand-lettered look with deliberate roughness, balancing legibility with an expressive, imperfect texture reminiscent of marker or brush rendering.
In longer text, the consistent stroke texture creates a strong color on the page, while the natural variation in widths and curves keeps lines visually active. The distressed edges are prominent enough to read as intentional character, especially at display sizes.
