A chunky, rounded sans with hand-drawn construction and a visibly inked texture throughout. Strokes are heavy and softly contoured, with irregular edges and occasional interior speckling that suggests rough printing or worn paint. Proportions are slightly uneven from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; counters tend to be open and generous, supporting clarity at larger sizes. Terminals are blunt and casual, and the overall silhouette leans toward simple, single-storey forms in the lowercase.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, product packaging, merch graphics, and social media headlines where texture and personality are desirable. It can work for short passages at larger sizes, especially in high-contrast layouts where the distressed details can remain visible.
The font feels approachable and informal, with a crafty, screen-printed roughness that reads as human and imperfect in an intentional way. Its buoyant shapes keep it upbeat, while the distressed texture adds a raw, DIY attitude.
This design appears intended to deliver an easygoing, hand-rendered voice with a deliberately worn finish, emulating ink-on-paper or printmaking artifacts while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable.
Spacing appears comfortably loose in the sample text, helping the dark, textured strokes avoid clogging when set in short lines. The distress is consistent across letters and numerals, giving headings a cohesive, stamped look rather than random noise.
