A heavy, chunky sans with rounded, slightly squarish counters and a visibly uneven, hand-cut edge quality. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness but show subtle wobble and soft, pressed-looking corners, giving each glyph a slightly different silhouette. Proportions are compact and blocky with generous fills, short-to-moderate extenders, and broad bowls that keep forms open at display sizes. The numerals and capitals carry a sturdy, poster-like presence, with a rhythmic, irregular texture that reads as intentionally handmade rather than mechanical.
Best used for display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and playful branding where a handmade, tactile voice is desirable. It can work in short bursts of text at larger sizes, but the rough edges and heavy color are most effective when readability is supported by ample size and contrast.
The font feels informal and spirited, with a friendly roughness that suggests craft, collage, or stamped lettering. Its bold mass and bouncy irregularity create an upbeat, attention-grabbing tone suited to lighthearted or expressive messaging rather than formal typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly sans voice with a handcrafted, cut-paper or stamped impression. It prioritizes personality and impact through mass, simplified shapes, and deliberately irregular contours that add warmth and spontaneity.
The overall texture becomes a defining feature in paragraphs: edges create a lively, mottled color on the line, and spacing appears slightly varied across glyphs, enhancing the organic feel. Letterforms lean toward simplified geometry with softened terminals, helping maintain clarity despite the distressed outline.
