A rounded, hand-drawn sans with chunky strokes and softly swollen terminals. Letterforms are built from simple, almost monoline structures, but their outlines wobble slightly and vary in thickness, creating an intentionally imperfect rhythm. A distinctive distressed texture appears throughout: small circular “pockmarks” and cutouts pepper counters and strokes, giving each glyph a porous, speckled interior. Proportions are generally wide with open apertures, while spacing reads a bit loose and organic in text.
Best suited to display contexts where texture and personality are meant to be seen—posters, packaging, labels, craft branding, event flyers, and playful headlines. It can work for short bursts of text, but the interior perforations and irregular rhythm will read most clearly at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is lighthearted and crafty, like inked lettering on rough paper or a stamped, weathered sign. The bubbly shapes keep it friendly, while the perforated distress adds a gritty, DIY edge. It feels casual and characterful rather than polished or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a friendly, handmade display voice with built-in wear and speckling, evoking printmaking or distressed stamping. Its wide, rounded construction prioritizes approachability, while the consistent pockmarked texture adds a thematic, tactile signature for expressive branding.
The distress pattern is consistent across letters and numerals, acting as a defining graphic motif rather than random noise. Uppercase forms stay fairly straightforward and legible, while some lowercase shapes (and round letters in particular) lean into the blobby, textured personality, which becomes more prominent at larger sizes.
