A narrow, hand-rendered roman with slightly irregular stroke edges and a subtly distressed texture that suggests dry ink or rough printing. Strokes show modest contrast and gentle tapering, with rounded joins and occasional wobble that keeps the rhythm lively. Proportions are compact with open counters and simple, readable shapes, while the overall spacing feels a bit uneven in an intentionally human way. Numerals and caps follow the same roughened treatment, maintaining a consistent, lightly weathered surface across the set.
This font fits display-driven applications where a handcrafted, lightly weathered voice is desirable—posters, packaging labels, book covers, café or market branding, and short headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or short paragraphs when set large enough for the textured edges to remain intentional rather than noisy.
The tone is approachable and handmade, mixing a storybook warmth with a lightly worn, vintage character. Its rough edges and casual modulation give it an informal, crafted feel—more personal than polished, with an easygoing charm that reads as authentic and tactile.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-inked lettering with a controlled, consistent structure, then softened by rough edges to evoke age, print wear, or natural media. It aims to balance legibility with a crafted, thematic texture suitable for expressive display typography.
The distressed detailing is subtle rather than heavily eroded, so the letterforms stay clear at display sizes while still showing texture. The narrow build and slight irregularity create a lively line color that works best when the texture can be seen.
