A chunky, hand-drawn sans with thick strokes and softly irregular contours. Letterforms have rounded corners, uneven stroke edges, and subtle wobble that suggests inky stamping or marker lettering on absorbent paper. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, with simplified terminals and a generally vertical stance. Spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal rhythm while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short headlines and punchy display lines where its rough texture can be appreciated. It works well for branding accents on packaging, labels, and stickers, and for event flyers or editorial callouts that benefit from an informal, tactile voice. In longer passages, generous sizing and spacing help preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels homemade and slightly gritty, balancing friendliness with a worn, distressed edge. It reads as casual and approachable, with a tactile, analog texture that evokes DIY posters, zines, and hand-lettered signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-crafted impression with deliberate imperfections, mimicking worn printing or casual marker lettering while keeping the character set cohesive and readable for attention-grabbing display typography.
Capitals appear stout and compact, while the lowercase maintains a steady, moderate x-height with simple forms and minimal detailing. Numerals follow the same softened, imperfect silhouette, giving mixed alphanumeric settings a consistent, stamp-like color on the page.
