A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and chunky strokes. Letterforms are built from simple curves and blunt terminals, but the outlines are intentionally irregular, with a rough, inked texture and slightly uneven edges that suggest hand-cut or stamped shapes. Counters are generally open and generous for the weight, and the overall rhythm is lively, with small variations in silhouette width and curvature that keep lines of text from feeling mechanically uniform.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as posters, headers, labels, and packaging where the bold mass and rough texture can be appreciated. It can also work for playful branding, event graphics, and children’s or craft-oriented applications; for longer reading, larger sizes and generous spacing help keep forms from filling in.
The font reads friendly and informal, with a bold, crafty energy. Its roughened edges add a tactile, DIY character that can feel vintage, outdoorsy, or zine-like while still staying approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold sans-serif voice with a handmade, tactile finish—combining simple rounded construction with distressed edges to create a friendly display face that feels printed, stamped, or cut by hand.
At text sizes the texture becomes a key feature, giving dark, dense word shapes with a visibly mottled perimeter. The numerals and caps maintain the same blunt, rounded construction, producing strong, high-impact figures and headings that feel deliberately imperfect.
