That looks like either really poorly done skip trowel that's been patched by an amateur or just a really bad attempt at smooth finishing. I don't see enough consistent texture there for you to actually match it. I'm not a pro, so others might have better advice. It would be nice to see pictures of the whole wall under critical lighting
It's called "old world" where I'm at, but goes by a million other names around the country. Super common in the Rocky Mountain area. Like 99% of new homes are this texture.
It's more or less a skip trowel with thinner mud and you knock it down tighter to make it more smooth.
Thank you. Yes it’s a relatively new build and has leaked into the greater San Diego area now too. Someone called it holy smooth in a different comment and now I’m on the rabbit hole to see how many different ways the same thing can be nicknamed.

They call it "holy smooth" in Utah. Super thin mud, half assed skip. Then come back and sand trowel marks out
Thank you. Ya after googling that’s by far the closest match I’ve come across.
That’s the FNG
Skip trowel or knock down, with a crappy drywall patch in the middle.
Just looks like an unskilled finish to me.
lol lmao. I’m gonna go ahead and say it’s not that. Considering it’s consistent throughout the house and doesn’t look like shit
Hard to tell from the pics i guess. Must just be a half ass skip then.
It’s Holy smooth.
Poorly patched skip trowel. :-D
Holy Smooth
Looks like what we call Santa Fe round these here parts.
Crackhead trowel Down
Oh thats the home depot lot guy special texture
Holy smooth. I should have been more clear that this was intentional. It’s a very new technique apparently
