A chunky, rounded sans with heavy strokes and deliberately uneven contours. Letterforms are built from simple geometric masses (circular O/Q, broad verticals) but softened by wobbly edges and subtle interior scuffing that reads like rough printing or marker fill. Stroke terminals are blunt and slightly irregular, counters are generous, and widths vary noticeably across the set, creating a lively rhythm. The lowercase is compact and friendly, with single-storey a and g and straightforward, utilitarian joins.
Best suited for short headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a warm, handmade voice is desired. It can also work for labels, menus, and social graphics, particularly when you want a rugged, printed-on-paper feel; for longer text, the texture and heavy color are more effective in larger sizes.
The overall tone is approachable and informal, with a tactile, handmade character. Its roughened texture and bouncy proportions suggest craft, street-sign practicality, or a playful DIY aesthetic rather than polished corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly sans structure with an intentionally worn, inked texture—combining clear, simple silhouettes with enough irregularity to feel human and tactile.
In the sample text, the distressed texture remains visible at display sizes without breaking the silhouettes, while the irregular edges add movement and personality. Numerals are similarly stout and rounded, keeping a consistent weight and presence alongside the letters.
