A heavy, rounded sans with softly modeled curves and slightly irregular contours that give the outlines a subtly hand-cut feel. Strokes stay broadly even, with blunt terminals and occasional wedge-like shaping where joins tighten. Counters are open and generous, and the lowercase maintains clear, simple constructions with a single-storey a and g. Overall spacing and widths vary a bit from glyph to glyph, creating an informal rhythm while remaining highly legible at display sizes.
Well-suited for posters, packaging, and headline work where a friendly, handmade voice is desired. It can also work for branding, labels, and short promotional copy, especially when you want warmth and personality rather than a neutral, corporate feel.
The texture and uneven edge energy convey an approachable, informal tone—more crafted than engineered. It feels cheerful and expressive, with a mild ruggedness that suggests paper-cut or brush-sketched lettering without becoming messy.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, approachable sans voice with a handcrafted edge—combining simple geometric foundations with intentional irregularity to add charm and immediacy.
The numerals are compact and sturdy, matching the letterforms’ rounded structure, and the punctuation in the sample text reads clearly at large sizes. The overall silhouette stays clean enough for short text, but the organic irregularities are most noticeable and effective when set larger.
