A chunky, hand-drawn display face with rounded forms and irregular, brushy edges that create a worn, printed texture. Strokes are heavy with noticeable wobble and small interior nicks, giving counters a slightly uneven, inked-in feel. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with a lively rhythm and modest baseline/width inconsistencies that read as intentional rather than sloppy. The lowercase is compact with relatively small x-height and short, simple extenders, while capitals feel broad and friendly with soft terminals and simplified geometry.
Best suited for short-form display settings where texture and personality are assets—posters, product packaging, stickers, café menus, event flyers, and playful branding. It also works well for children’s content or retro-themed graphics, but the rough edges and variable rhythm make it less ideal for small-size body text.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, with a crafty, analog personality that suggests marker lettering or rough screenprint. Its imperfect edges and bouncy spacing add humor and warmth, making it feel informal and characterful rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver an intentionally imperfect, handcrafted look that mimics worn print or marker-drawn lettering. It prioritizes character, friendliness, and visual texture over strict uniformity, aiming to stand out in bold, informal headline use.
Round letters (like O, Q, and 8) show strong, enclosed shapes with visibly textured interiors, while diagonals and joins (V, W, M) keep a hand-cut look. Numerals are similarly chunky and irregular, matching the alphabet’s casual, poster-like energy.
