A heavy, hand-rendered sans with rounded, simplified construction and noticeably uneven contours. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, but with natural wobble, blunted terminals, and lightly mottled edges that feel like ink on textured paper or rough brush lettering. Counters are open and generous, while joins and curves vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, handmade rhythm. The overall color is dense and punchy, with intentionally imperfect outlines that create a tactile, distressed finish.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text where texture and personality are an asset—posters, packaging, labels, stickers, event promos, and social graphics. It can also work for branding elements that want a handmade or vintage-printed feel, especially when paired with simpler body text for contrast.
The font conveys a friendly, scrappy energy—approachable and fun, but with a rough, analog edge. Its irregularity reads as human and expressive, lending a DIY, crafty tone that can feel retro or street-level depending on context.
The design appears intended to mimic bold marker/brush lettering with worn or imperfect printing, prioritizing warmth and immediacy over exact uniformity. Its distressed edge treatment and chunky shapes aim to deliver high impact while retaining an unmistakably handmade character.
Capitals and lowercase share the same sturdy, rounded voice, with slightly inconsistent stroke edges that become part of the texture at display sizes. Numerals follow the same soft, hand-drawn logic, emphasizing legibility over strict geometric precision.
