A chunky, rounded sans with heavy strokes and slightly irregular contours that create a hand-shaped, inked look. Curves are broad and simple, terminals are blunt, and interior counters are generous for the weight, keeping letters open in text. The outline shows subtle wobble and edge texture, with small variations in stroke width and letter fit that add a natural, cut-or-stamped feel while maintaining a steady baseline and clear overall structure.
Best suited to display settings where bold impact and personality matter, such as posters, headlines, packaging, and playful branding. It also works well for short bursts of copy—labels, stickers, social graphics, and event promos—where its handmade texture can add charm and energy.
The font reads warm and informal, with a playful, crafty tone that feels human rather than mechanical. Its roughened edges and stout proportions suggest a casual, poster-like voice with a touch of vintage utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, friendly sans voice with a deliberately imperfect, handmade finish. It prioritizes strong legibility and big shapes while introducing subtle irregularity to feel tactile and expressive.
In paragraphs, the dense color and strong silhouettes make it attention-grabbing, while the textured edges can become more pronounced at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same bold, rounded construction, reinforcing a consistent, approachable display character.
