A rounded, monolinear sans with softly squared curves and slightly uneven stroke flow, as if drawn with a felt-tip marker. Terminals are blunt and often subtly bulbous, while counters stay open and simple. The outlines show consistent, lightly distressed texture—small nicks, speckles, and rough edges—creating a printed-by-hand look. Proportions lean compact and sturdy, with uncomplicated forms and a gently irregular rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Well-suited for posters, packaging, labels, and brand marks that benefit from an artisanal or DIY impression. It performs especially well in headlines, short paragraphs, and display copy where the textured edge can remain visible, and it can add warmth to merchandise graphics and social media layouts.
The overall tone feels casual and approachable, with a crafty, handmade charm. Its mild grunge texture adds a nostalgic, screen-printed vibe without becoming aggressive, keeping the voice friendly and informal.
Likely designed to capture a hand-drawn marker style paired with subtle wear, evoking imperfect printing and tactile materials. The goal appears to be approachable display typography that adds personality and texture while staying legible.
Lowercase forms read clearly and stay relatively upright, while the distressing is distributed evenly enough to feel intentional rather than random. Numerals and capitals share the same rounded construction, supporting consistent headlines and short text treatments where texture is part of the character.
