A heavy, rounded sans with chunky proportions and slightly irregular contours that suggest a hand-cut or distressed finish. Strokes are thick with blunt terminals and soft corners, and counters are generally small, keeping the color dense and punchy. The baseline and sidebearings feel loosely tuned, producing a lively rhythm and uneven texture in longer lines. Uppercase forms read compact and blocky, while the lowercase maintains a simple, single-story construction where applicable and a generally large x-height for strong presence at display sizes.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks where a bold, tactile personality is desirable. It can work in short bursts for apparel graphics or social media tiles, but the rough texture and dense counters make it less ideal for long-form reading or small UI text.
The overall tone is playful and rough-edged, combining friendly rounded shapes with a gritty, handmade texture. It evokes poster lettering and craft aesthetics—casual, energetic, and a bit mischievous rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded sans structure while adding a handcrafted, distressed surface for character. It prioritizes personality and visual texture over neutrality, aiming to feel informal, tactile, and attention-grabbing in display settings.
The distressed edges and variable silhouette create noticeable ink-trap-like bites and wobbles in some strokes, which can add character but also reduces crispness at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same bulky, rounded construction and hold visual weight well alongside the caps.
