A heavy sans with rounded construction and softened corners, rendered with a visibly rough, inked edge. Strokes are mostly monolinear with slight, organic wobble, giving counters and terminals an uneven, printed feel. The shapes lean toward compact, wide-set proportions; bowls are generous, joins are thick, and apertures are moderately open, keeping silhouettes clear even with the texture. Numerals and lowercase follow the same chunky, cut-from-a-stamp rhythm, with consistent weight and a slightly irregular outline throughout.
Best suited to display settings where the textured edges can be appreciated—posters, packaging, product labels, stickers, and short headlines. It also works well for playful branding, café or market-style signage, and editorial callouts where a handmade, printed look is desired.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, like hand-inked signage or a worn rubber-stamp impression. Its rough perimeter adds warmth and grit, producing a friendly, analog character rather than a polished digital finish. The result feels lively and tactile, with a hint of craft and DIY personality.
The design appears intended to combine simple, rounded sans forms with a deliberately rough print texture, evoking analog reproduction such as stamping, screen printing, or worn ink on paper. It prioritizes bold presence and a friendly, craft-forward voice over crisp neutrality.
The texture reads as intentional distressing rather than randomness, creating a consistent edge across glyphs and maintaining sturdy interior space. The bold massing and simplified forms favor impact and quick recognition, while the irregular contour adds visual noise that becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes.
