A heavy, compact sans with rounded construction and visibly irregular contours that feel like ink spread or hand-cut shapes. Strokes are thick and confident with softened corners, slightly wobbly edges, and uneven terminals that create a tactile, printed texture. Counters are generally open and simple, and the overall rhythm is bouncy rather than strictly geometric, with subtle inconsistencies in curvature and width that read as intentional. Numerals match the same blunt, rounded, slightly distressed drawing, maintaining strong presence in display sizes.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short bursts of copy where a strong, tactile voice is needed. It works well for branding and packaging—especially craft or vintage-leaning products—as well as signage and social graphics that benefit from a bold, approachable display style.
The font conveys a bold, handmade energy—warm, approachable, and a bit gritty. Its roughened edges and soft shapes suggest vintage printing, craft packaging, and casual signage, balancing friendliness with a rugged, imperfect charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy sans foundation with a deliberately imperfect, hand-printed surface. By combining rounded forms with rough edges and slightly uneven drawing, it aims to feel human and analog while staying highly impactful.
In text, the heavy weight and textured outlines dominate the page, making the face most comfortable at larger sizes where the irregularities read as character rather than noise. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving layouts a cohesive, stamped look.
