A chunky, heavy sans with rounded corners and a hand-cut, ink-stamped feel. Strokes are robust and often show subtle waviness, with roughened edges and small interior speckling that reads like worn print or dry-brush ink. Counters are generally open and circular, terminals are blunt, and curves (notably in O/C/G) are smooth but imperfect, reinforcing an analog texture. Uppercase forms are simple and sturdy, while lowercase keeps the same weight and softness, with compact, friendly shapes and a single-storey a and g. Numerals are wide and emphatic, matching the letterforms’ uneven, distressed surface.
Best suited to display typography where texture is an asset: posters, headline systems, event promos, packaging, labels, stickers, and merch graphics. It can also work for short bursts of body copy (taglines, pull quotes) when the size is generous and the distressed details can resolve cleanly.
The overall tone is approachable and mischievous, combining kidlike friendliness with a gritty, vintage-imperfect finish. It feels informal and energetic, like lettering from a screen print, rubber stamp, or hand-painted sign that has seen some wear.
Designed to deliver a bold, friendly sans silhouette with a deliberately imperfect, worn-print surface—aiming for character and tactility over precision. The intention reads as an easygoing display face that adds warmth and grit to contemporary layouts.
Texture is consistent across glyphs, with deliberate irregularities that create a lively rhythm and avoid a sterile geometric look. Spacing appears moderate and the heavy color makes the face feel dense, so it reads best when given room or set at display sizes.
