A chunky, heavy display face with soft, rounded shapes and subtly irregular contours. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with gentle swelling and slight wobble that suggests ink spread or rough impression. Counters are compact and often uneven, and terminals tend to be blunt with occasional nicks and notches along the edges. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, while the uppercase has broad, squat proportions and a slightly bouncy rhythm that keeps text lively at larger sizes.
Best suited for short headlines and punchy display settings where the texture and heft can read clearly—posters, product labels, café or event signage, stickers, and playful branding. It can also work for large-format subheads, but the rough edge detail and tight counters make it less ideal for long text at small sizes.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a homespun, slightly worn texture that feels casual rather than polished. Its imperfect edges and blobby weight give it a playful, vintage-leaning personality suited to fun, informal messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic a bold, inked or stamped look with intentional imperfections, combining rounded, cartoon-like forms with lightly distressed edges. It prioritizes personality and impact over neutrality, aiming for a handmade, tactile impression.
The distressed detail is subtle but persistent, visible as small edge bites and irregular interior shaping that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. Numerals match the same soft, heavy construction, with friendly curves and a hand-pressed feel.
