A heavy, rounded sans with softened corners and slightly irregular, textured outlines that read like ink spread or a stamped impression. Strokes are thick and consistently weighted, with gentle modulation coming mainly from the uneven edge behavior rather than formal contrast. Counters are generous and open, helping letters stay readable despite the rough perimeter. Overall proportions are compact and sturdy, with a lively rhythm created by subtle variations in curve smoothness and terminal shape.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, packaging callouts, labels, event graphics, and merchandise where the textured edge can be appreciated. It can also work for playful branding and display copy, while extended body text may feel dense due to the heavy strokes and surface texture.
The texture and softened geometry give the face a warm, approachable tone with a hint of vintage utility. It feels informal and human, suggesting hand-crafted signage or printed ephemera rather than polished corporate typography.
Designed to combine simple, rounded sans forms with a deliberately imperfect, printed texture to add personality and tactility. The goal appears to be a friendly display face that stays robust and legible while conveying a handmade, slightly vintage character.
Caps and lowercase share a cohesive, rounded construction, and the numerals match the same blunt, slightly distressed silhouette. The grainy edges become more prominent at larger sizes, where the irregular contour reads as a deliberate stylistic feature.
