A heavy, wide sans with rounded, blobby counters and noticeably irregular stroke edges that feel hand-drawn rather than geometric. Stems and bowls are built from thick, low-contrast strokes with soft corners and small nicks, producing a textured silhouette. The spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, with compact joins and simplified terminals that keep forms sturdy and legible. Numerals and lowercase share the same chunky, inked-in construction, maintaining a consistent, informal rhythm across text.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headers, cover art, packaging, and logo wordmarks where the rough edges and wide stance can be appreciated. It can also work for playful signage or social graphics, but the textured contours may feel busy in long paragraphs or at small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a rough, handcrafted character that reads as casual and slightly gritty. Its uneven contours suggest spontaneity and personality, lending a friendly, DIY flavor rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold sans impression with a handmade, brush-and-ink texture—prioritizing personality and visual punch over strict regularity. Its wide proportions and rounded construction aim for friendly legibility while keeping an expressive, crafted surface.
Round letters like O/C/G and the lowercase a/e/o emphasize enclosed, pebble-like counters, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) appear cut from the same thick brushy shapes. The texture is subtle but persistent, so the font looks most at home when its rough edge is allowed to show at display sizes.
