A chunky, heavy sans with rounded, inflated counters and broadly circular geometry, paired with deliberately uneven, roughened outlines. Strokes read as brushy and hand-cut, with subtle wobble along stems and curves that creates a textured silhouette. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with generous interior space in letters like O, P, and R helping maintain clarity at display sizes. Terminals are mostly blunt and softly rounded, while joins and diagonals show small irregular bites that reinforce the handcrafted feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, packaging, and promotional graphics where its textured outline can read clearly. It also works well for playful branding, sticker-style designs, and social media tiles, especially when paired with simpler body text for contrast.
The overall tone is playful and informal, like lettering made with a marker or a cut-paper stencil that’s been slightly distressed. Its friendly, bouncy rhythm gives it a youthful, DIY energy, while the rough edges add a gritty, poster-like attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable voice with a handcrafted texture, combining simple rounded sans construction with intentional roughness to avoid a sterile, geometric feel. It aims to look energetic and tactile, as if made by hand, while keeping letter shapes straightforward and readable.
The numerals and capitals carry the strongest personality, with noticeable edge texture that becomes part of the letterforms rather than a subtle effect. Spacing appears robust and steady in the sample text, though the irregular contours make lines feel animated and lively rather than strictly mechanical.
