A loose, hand-drawn sans with chunky strokes and soft, rounded terminals. Edges are irregular and slightly wobbly, with occasional blobby swellings and small voids that mimic uneven ink or worn printing. Counters are generally open and simple, and the overall construction favors uncomplicated, monoline-like forms with organic variation rather than strict geometry. Spacing feels relaxed, and letter widths vary naturally, reinforcing the drawn, imperfect rhythm in running text.
Works best for display uses where a handmade, imperfect texture is desirable—posters, packaging, labels, merch, stickers, and short headlines. It can also suit playful editorial callouts or kid-oriented materials, especially at sizes large enough for the distressed details to read clearly.
The tone is friendly and informal with a tactile, imperfect charm. Its distressed texture reads like marker or brush lettering that has been photocopied or printed on rough paper, giving it a crafty, zine-like personality. Overall it feels approachable and a bit mischievous rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture a spontaneous, hand-lettered feel with deliberate wear and ink irregularities, prioritizing character and texture over precision. The goal appears to be an energetic, approachable display voice that looks printed-by-hand rather than digitally clean.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent hand-rendered logic, with rounded joins and occasional rough patches inside strokes that add texture without fully breaking legibility. Numerals match the same casual, slightly uneven stroke behavior, making the set feel cohesive for mixed alphanumeric use.
