A heavy, blocky sans with broad proportions and a compact internal structure. Letterforms are built from simple, rounded geometry but intentionally destabilized by rough, uneven edges and slightly irregular stroke boundaries, creating a stamped/inked texture. Counters are relatively small and openings are tightened, producing dark, high-impact word shapes; terminals are blunt and softly rounded rather than sharp. Spacing and glyph widths vary subtly, reinforcing the handmade feel while maintaining a consistent overall rhythm in text.
Best suited for short display settings where its bold, textured silhouette can carry the design—posters, headlines, apparel graphics, packaging, and promotional/event materials. It can also work for logos or badges that benefit from a stamped, handcrafted aesthetic, especially when set at moderate-to-large sizes.
The texture reads as gritty and tactile, like paint, rubber stamp, or screenprint pulled with imperfect ink coverage. Despite the roughness, the underlying rounded construction keeps the tone friendly and approachable, lending an energetic, slightly mischievous personality well-suited to informal, attention-grabbing messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a bold sans foundation with an intentionally distressed, handmade finish—combining simple rounded forms with roughened contours to evoke analog printing and casual craft. The goal appears to be strong impact and personality while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable in display use.
In longer lines, the dense color and ragged perimeter become the primary stylistic signature, while the simplified shapes keep words recognizable at display sizes. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving compositions a unified, crafted look.
