A monoline, upright sans with rounded terminals and visibly irregular contours. Strokes show slight wobble and uneven edges, like ink laid down with a marker or printed with imperfect pressure, creating a gently distressed texture. Proportions are generally straightforward and readable, with open counters and softly squared curves; spacing and widths vary a bit from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-rendered rhythm rather than a rigidly geometric one. Numerals and punctuation follow the same informal, slightly roughened construction for consistent color in text.
Works well for posters, packaging, and branding that benefit from a handcrafted voice—especially in headlines, short paragraphs, pull quotes, and product copy where a human touch is desirable. It can also suit book covers and editorial callouts that want warmth and character without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is friendly and unpretentious, with a handmade charm that feels approachable and a little nostalgic. Its subtle roughness suggests craft, zines, or DIY signage rather than polished corporate precision, keeping the mood warm and playful without becoming chaotic.
Designed to emulate a hand-drawn, lightly worn sans—combining clean, familiar letterforms with controlled imperfections to deliver an authentic, printed-by-hand feel in both display and short text settings.
In longer text, the slight irregularity adds texture while maintaining legibility thanks to clear shapes and open interior spaces. The distressed effect reads as edge wear and ink spread rather than heavy erosion, so the font keeps a solid silhouette at typical display and subtitle sizes.
