A chunky, hand-rendered sans with rounded, swollen strokes and irregular contours. Letterforms feel brush- or marker-drawn, with visible wobble, occasional interior nicks, and uneven stroke edges that create a naturally worn print texture. Proportions are generally compact with open counters, soft corners, and simplified geometry; width varies noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, handmade rhythm. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same heavy, inky color, with forms that favor legibility over precision.
Best suited for display work where texture and personality are desirable—posters, packaging, merchandise, album artwork, and bold editorial or social graphics. It also works well for short slogans and playful headings where a handmade, worn look can carry the message.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, like signage or packaging lettering done quickly by hand. Its roughened edges and inky fill add a gritty, tactile energy that reads as craft, DIY, and slightly vintage.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable voice with deliberate imperfections, mimicking brushy hand lettering and slightly distressed printing. It prioritizes expressive texture and a strong black footprint over strict consistency, creating an energetic, crafted look.
The texture shows up both on outer contours and within strokes, giving a stamped/printed feel rather than smooth digital outlines. Spacing appears comfortable for display settings, while the irregularities become more prominent as text runs longer.
