A condensed, hand-drawn sans with brush-like strokes and noticeable texture throughout the fills. Letterforms are built from rounded, slightly wobbly verticals and blunt terminals, with uneven stroke edges that suggest dry ink or rough printing. Proportions vary subtly from glyph to glyph, giving an organic rhythm, while counters stay fairly open for a distressed style. The lowercase is compact with a modest x-height, and the figures are rounded and simple, matching the informal, marker-ink construction.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display text where a handmade, tactile feel is desirable—posters, event flyers, album art, packaging, and social graphics. It can also work for branding accents and pull quotes when you want an informal, artisanal voice more than pristine typographic precision.
The font conveys a candid, human tone—like quick signage, notebook headings, or hand-painted labels. Its roughened texture adds a gritty, DIY energy while the rounded forms keep it friendly rather than aggressive.
Likely designed to emulate a fast, brush-pen or marker-written look with built-in wear, delivering a ready-made handmade aesthetic without needing custom lettering. The condensed proportions help it fit punchy headlines while preserving a casual, imperfect texture.
Texture is consistent across both cases and numerals, reading as intentional wear rather than random noise. The overall spacing and stroke irregularity create a lively line texture, especially in longer text, where the handmade character becomes more pronounced.
