A heavy, rounded sans with irregular, hand-made contours and softly squared corners. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, but edges wobble and “bloom” as if made with a brush marker or rough print, creating uneven terminals and slightly mottled outlines. Counters are generally open and simple, with occasional asymmetry and subtle fill variation that reinforces the tactile, distressed texture. Overall spacing and proportions feel informal and slightly inconsistent, emphasizing a hand-rendered rhythm over strict geometry.
Best suited for short display copy where texture is an asset: posters, event titles, playful branding, casual signage, packaging callouts, and social graphics. It can also work for large, punchy captions, but the rough outline texture may reduce clarity in long passages or at small sizes.
The font conveys a warm, playful, and slightly gritty tone—like hand-painted signage, stamped packaging, or a bold marker note. Its rough edges add energy and authenticity, keeping it approachable rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic a bold hand-drawn or roughly printed look, prioritizing character and tactility over precision. Its consistent chunky silhouette paired with intentionally irregular edges suggests a goal of adding human warmth and a worn, analog feel to contemporary layouts.
Uppercase forms read as chunky and compact, while lowercase maintains a sturdy presence with rounded bowls and short, sturdy stems. Numerals match the same soft, inky construction and remain easy to pick out at display sizes, with a consistent “imperfect print” character across the set.
