A chunky, rounded display face with hand-drawn construction and intentionally uneven outlines. Strokes are thick with softly squared terminals, and the counters show a rough, inked texture that creates a worn/printed look inside and along the edges. Proportions are variable, with subtly inconsistent stem widths and widths across glyphs, giving the alphabet a bouncy rhythm. The lowercase is simple and friendly with single-story forms (notably a and g), open apertures, and compact bowls; numerals are similarly rounded and heavy with slightly irregular curves.
Works best for short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, product packaging, labels, and branding that wants a handmade feel. It’s also well-suited to playful or youth-oriented communication where texture and character are more important than a pristine finish.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, like marker lettering or a stamped print that’s been run through a little too many times. Its roughened interior texture adds a crafty, informal character that feels energetic rather than gritty.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand-lettering with a deliberately imperfect, worn print texture. It prioritizes warmth and personality through rounded shapes and irregular stroke behavior, aiming for a friendly display voice with a distressed finish.
In longer text the distressed interior pattern remains visible and becomes part of the color of the line, so spacing and size will influence how busy it appears. The heavy weight and soft corners keep forms readable while the irregularity adds personality.
