A compact, upright sans with slightly condensed proportions and a deliberately irregular, inked texture. Strokes are mostly monolinear but show subtle swelling and thinning, with softened corners and uneven edges that mimic press or brush artifacts. Curves lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, while terminals and joins remain blunt and simple rather than calligraphic. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, producing a lively rhythm; counters are generally open enough for short text, though the rough perimeter adds visual noise at smaller sizes.
This font works best for short to medium-length display copy where texture and personality are assets: posters, café menus, labels, rustic branding, event flyers, and informal signage. It can also add character to pull quotes or section headers, especially when printed at sizes large enough to let the rough detail breathe.
The overall tone is handmade and slightly distressed, evoking vintage printing, craft packaging, and casual signage. Its uneven edges and inky presence read warm and approachable rather than technical, with a playful, imperfect charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a simple sans structure with a deliberately analog, worn finish—capturing the feel of hand-printed or distressed letterforms while keeping shapes straightforward and legible for bold, personality-forward typography.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and poster-like, while lowercase shows more bounce and idiosyncrasy, especially in round letters and diagonals. Numerals follow the same rough, inked construction, with a friendly, informal presence that suits display settings more than extended reading.
