A chunky, rounded sans with soft terminals and an uneven, hand-inked texture. Strokes are thick and slightly wobbly, with small nicks, pinholes, and rough interior edges that create a printed/marker-like distress effect. Counters are generally open and circular, joins are simplified, and overall proportions vary from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, non-mechanical rhythm. Figures are bold and friendly, with smooth curves and subtle irregularities that keep the color energetic across lines of text.
Best suited for short-form display settings such as posters, product labels, event graphics, and social media headlines where its playful texture can be appreciated. It also works well for kid-oriented materials, craft branding, and informal signage; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The font reads as cheerful and approachable, with a craft feel that suggests DIY signage, cartoons, and playful branding. Its distressed finish adds a lightly worn, analog character—more fun than gritty—making it feel casual, warm, and a bit mischievous.
The design appears intended to deliver a friendly, cartoon-leaning display voice with an intentionally imperfect, analog surface. It prioritizes personality and tactile texture over strict typographic uniformity, creating an expressive headline style that feels hand-made and lightly weathered.
Round letters like O/C/G/Q emphasize the bubbly silhouette, while straights and diagonals (E/F/H/K/V/W) retain a hand-drawn wobble rather than strict geometry. The distressed detailing is consistent across the set and becomes more noticeable at larger sizes, where the texture reads as intentional ink/print breakup.
