A rounded, monoline-ish display face with chunky strokes, soft terminals, and a gently uneven baseline rhythm. Letterforms are built from simple geometric gestures—open bowls, broad curves, and compact counters—then enlivened with irregular ink-like artifacts along edges and within strokes that read as worn print or dry-brush texture. Spacing feels airy and informal, with slightly varied glyph widths and a smooth, approachable silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works best for short to medium display text where the roughened, hand-ink character can be appreciated—posters, titles, social graphics, invitations, playful branding, and packaging. It can also suit educational or kid-oriented materials where a friendly, informal tone is desired, especially at larger sizes where the distressed details remain clear.
The overall tone is upbeat and human, with a crafty, hand-rendered warmth. The subtle distressing adds a lived-in, tactile feel that suggests DIY making, classroom posters, or playful packaging rather than polished corporate typography.
Designed to capture an approachable, hand-lettered look with a lightly weathered finish, balancing clear, rounded construction with intentional imperfections for personality and texture.
Caps are friendly and simplified, while lowercase keeps a consistent rounded construction; the dotted i/j and softly shaped numerals reinforce the casual voice. The texture is present but not overly noisy, so the forms stay legible at display sizes while still clearly reading as intentionally imperfect.
