A chunky, hand-rendered sans with thick strokes and rounded, inflated counters. The outlines are intentionally irregular, with wobbly curves, slightly uneven stroke edges, and a stamped/inked texture that gives each glyph a cut-out feel. Letter proportions lean broad and stable, with generous interior space in round letters and simplified joins that keep forms bold and readable. The overall rhythm is lively and imperfect, with small shape variations that emphasize a handmade construction rather than geometric precision.
Best suited to display settings where its texture and irregular contours can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event graphics, product packaging, and playful branding. It also works well for short bursts of text such as labels, pull quotes, and social graphics, especially when a handmade or retro-printed feel is desired.
The font conveys a playful, crafty tone—more poster and zine than corporate signage. Its roughened edges and bouncy silhouettes suggest informality and humor, with a mildly gritty, vintage print vibe that feels approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to mimic a bold, hand-inked or stamped lettering style, prioritizing personality and tactile texture over strict uniformity. It aims to deliver high-impact shapes with a deliberately imperfect finish for expressive, attention-grabbing typography.
Capitals read as strong headline shapes with consistent heft, while lowercase keeps a compact, friendly texture that holds together well in short lines. Numerals match the same blobby construction and maintain clear silhouettes, especially in round forms like 0, 8, and 9.
