A casual, hand-rendered print style with uneven stroke edges and gently wobbly contours that feel drawn rather than constructed. Strokes are broadly consistent in thickness but show natural variation from letter to letter, with slightly blunted terminals and occasional nicks that create a textured silhouette. The forms are mostly upright with simple, sturdy geometry—round counters, open apertures, and straightforward joins—balanced by irregular widths and spacing that add a human rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry the same roughened outline, keeping a cohesive, unpolished look across the set.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display copy where a handcrafted feel is desirable, such as posters, café menus, product packaging, and informal branding. It can also work for book covers or pull quotes when you want a friendly, rustic voice; for dense body text, the rough edges and irregular rhythm will be more visually active.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, like hand-lettering on craft packaging or a casual sign. Its rough texture and imperfect consistency give it a rustic, artisanal character, while the friendly proportions keep it light and playful rather than aggressive.
Designed to emulate quick, hand-drawn lettering with a slightly distressed edge, prioritizing personality and tactile texture over strict typographic regularity. The goal appears to be an authentic, human-made impression that stays readable while retaining visible imperfections.
The texture is most noticeable along curves and diagonals, where edges look slightly chipped or dry-brushed. In running text, the irregularities create an organic color on the page, with a lively baseline and spacing that reads intentionally informal.
