A heavy, rounded sans with softened corners, blunt terminals, and slightly irregular contours that suggest a hand-cut or stamped process. Curves are full and open, with generous interior counters and compact joins that keep the texture dense without feeling closed-in. Strokes remain even throughout, while minor wobble and uneven edges add a tactile, human rhythm across words and lines. Overall proportions are sturdy and compact, with simple, archetypal letter constructions and minimal detailing.
Best suited for display typography where its chunky, textured forms can carry personality—posters, packaging, café/food branding, labels, and playful headlines. It also works well for short blocks of copy in marketing materials when a friendly, handcrafted feel is desired.
The font communicates warmth and approachability, with a casual, handmade energy that feels inviting rather than strict. Its soft, chunky shapes and subtle roughness lend a nostalgic, craft-oriented tone suited to upbeat and informal messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a sturdy, highly legible sans with a deliberately handmade texture, balancing simple geometric construction with organic edge variation to add character in display settings.
The irregular edge quality becomes more noticeable at larger sizes, where it reads as intentional texture rather than distortion. Round letters like O/C/G stay clear and open, while narrow forms and diagonals (such as I, J, V, W) maintain a bold presence through widened terminals and softened angles.
