A heavy, rounded sans with soft, inflated contours and uneven stroke boundaries that feel hand-rendered. Letterforms are broadly monoline in construction but show visible interior scuffing and edge wobble, creating a printed/inked texture inside counters and along curves. Proportions are slightly irregular across the set, with simplified geometry, open apertures, and generously rounded terminals; bowls and counters remain readable despite the roughened finish. Numerals follow the same blobby, hand-drawn rhythm, with noticeable variation in curvature and stroke thickness from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to display applications where the texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, and playful branding. It can also work for short bursts of UI or social graphics where a friendly handmade feel is desired, but the distressed interior may reduce clarity at very small sizes.
The overall tone is casual and humorous, like marker lettering or a worn rubber-stamp impression. Its textured fill and imperfect outlines give it a crafty, approachable character that feels relaxed rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to capture the charm of imperfect, hand-inked lettering with a built-in worn/printed texture, balancing bold legibility with a deliberately rough, playful finish.
The distressed texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, showing as speckled/dragged ink artifacts that read well at display sizes. Spacing appears comfortably loose in the sample, supporting an airy, friendly rhythm even with the heavy weight.
