A chunky sans with rounded, compact counters and a noticeably rough, uneven edge that reads like inked or stamped lettering. Strokes maintain a heavy presence with slight width fluctuations and irregular contours, giving each glyph a tactile, cut-out feel. Curves are broad and simplified, terminals are blunt, and interior shapes stay open enough to remain legible at display sizes despite the textured silhouette. Overall spacing feels sturdy and calm, with a gently bouncy rhythm from the hand-rendered imperfections.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, product packaging, stickers, and playful branding. It can also work for kid-oriented materials or event graphics where an informal, handmade look is desired; for longer reading, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the textured edges don’t crowd the counters.
The font conveys a playful, homemade energy—warm, approachable, and a little scrappy. Its rough perimeter and soft geometry suggest craft, screen-print, or rubber-stamp associations, making the tone more human than polished.
Designed to deliver a bold, friendly sans voice with deliberate roughness, prioritizing personality and tactile texture over clinical precision. The goal appears to be an approachable display face that feels printed, stamped, or hand-cut while staying clear and readable.
Round letters like O and Q show a strong, simplified construction with slightly irregular bowls, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a bold, blocky stance. Numerals share the same chunky, hand-cut character, supporting cohesive headline use alongside the alphabet.
