A heavy, rounded sans with intentionally uneven stroke edges and interior texture that suggests dry marker or rough print. Curves are full and slightly squarish in places, with softened corners and subtle wobble that keeps the baseline and sidebearings feeling human rather than mechanical. Counters are generally open and generous, while repeated inline scuffing/drag marks create a consistent distressed pattern across letters and figures. The overall rhythm is lively, with mild irregularities in stroke terminals and joins that read as handcrafted rather than random damage.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where texture is an asset: posters, packaging, labels, merch/stickers, and social or event graphics. It can also work for playful headers in editorial layouts, especially when paired with a clean text face for body copy.
The font conveys a friendly, informal energy—crafty and imperfect in a deliberate way. Its worn, doodled texture adds a nostalgic, zine-like attitude that feels approachable and a bit mischievous, making text look as if it were stamped or drawn quickly by hand.
The design appears intended to combine simple, rounded sans shapes with a consistent worn/ink-drag texture to create a handmade, attention-grabbing voice. It aims for approachability and character over precision, giving layouts an instant crafted or printed-by-hand feel.
Capitals are sturdy and poster-like, while the lowercase maintains simple, readable forms with a single-storey “a” and “g” and rounded bowls. Numerals share the same textured fill and softened geometry, with clear silhouettes suited to display use. The distressed detailing is prominent enough that small sizes may appear busier than the underlying letterforms.
