A casual, hand-rendered sans with visibly roughened outlines and intermittent ink-like texture. Strokes show high thick–thin variation with rounded, slightly uneven terminals and occasional blunt, brushed ends. Counters are generally open and round, with mild wobble in curves and a subtly bouncy baseline feel; widths vary per glyph, reinforcing an organic rhythm. Uppercase forms are simple and bold in silhouette, while lowercase remains straightforward and legible with softened joins and small irregularities that read like dry-brush or worn printing.
Well suited to display settings that benefit from a handmade, tactile impression—posters, product packaging, café/food branding, craft markets, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for short pull quotes or playful UI accents when set with generous size and spacing, but the distressed detailing is best showcased above small body-text sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a crafty, human touch that feels sketchbook-made rather than engineered. Its distressed edges add a lightly grungy, rustic character without becoming chaotic, keeping the mood approachable and upbeat.
The design appears intended to mimic quick hand lettering with a dry-brush or worn-ink finish, combining clear, simple letter construction with deliberate surface irregularity. It aims to add personality and warmth while remaining readable across common headline and label applications.
In text, the texture is most apparent at larger sizes, where the speckling and uneven edges become part of the voice. At smaller sizes the distress can visually fill in, so spacing and stroke breaks may read denser in tight settings.
