A heavy, rounded sans with a hand-rendered feel and visibly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are built from simple, sturdy shapes—soft corners, broad counters, and blunt terminals—with subtle wobble and texture suggesting ink spread or rough printing. Spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, producing an organic rhythm; lowercase forms are compact with short extenders, and numerals share the same chunky, informal construction.
Well-suited for posters, packaging, and short-form headlines where a friendly, handmade presence is desired. The rugged edges can add character to labels, stickers, merchandise graphics, and social media promos; it will generally read best at medium to large sizes where the texture looks intentional rather than noisy.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a roughened, tactile surface that reads as handcrafted rather than polished. It feels casual and expressive—more like marker or brush lettering reproduced through imperfect print than a precise digital grotesk.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, approachable display voice that mimics imperfect inked lettering. The irregular edges and slightly varied proportions appear intentional, aiming to add warmth and personality while keeping straightforward, readable letter shapes.
Texture appears both along outer contours and within fills as small irregularities, which becomes more apparent at larger sizes. The shapes remain highly legible despite the distressing, especially in headline settings where the bold mass and rounded silhouettes dominate.
