A chunky, hand-drawn sans with rounded corners, slightly uneven geometry, and a consistent rough-print texture. Strokes are heavy with soft terminals, and many forms show a dark outer stroke with lighter, scuffed interiors that create a worn, inked-on-paper effect. Curves are bouncy rather than perfectly circular, and verticals and horizontals subtly wobble, giving the alphabet a lively rhythm. Spacing feels broadly regular but with small, natural variations that reinforce the handmade character.
Best suited to display applications where texture can be appreciated: posters and flyers, product packaging and labels, apparel graphics, stickers, and bold social media headlines. It can also work for short, high-impact phrases or signage where a handmade, printed look is desired, but is less ideal for long-form text at small sizes due to the internal distress.
The overall tone is casual and approachable with a lo-fi, distressed charm. Its scuffed, stamped texture suggests craft, DIY printing, and a nostalgic, analog feel, while the rounded shapes keep it friendly rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to mimic a rough, hand-inked or stamped printing process—combining bold, friendly letterforms with worn interiors to deliver an intentionally imperfect, tactile aesthetic.
The texture reads as deliberate “ink wear” rather than random noise, staying coherent across letters and numerals. At smaller sizes the interior distress may visually fill in, while at display sizes the worn detail becomes a key part of the personality.
