A chunky, display-oriented sans with soft, rounded geometry and a slightly leaning stance. The letterforms are heavy and compact with a bouncy baseline rhythm, irregular stroke edges, and scattered “worn” voids that create a printed, distressed texture. Counters are generally open and generous, and the shapes favor broad bowls and stubby terminals; the overall feel is informal and hand-cut rather than mechanically precise.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the distressed detail can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, labels, stickers, and merch. It also works well for brand marks and seasonal or craft-themed promotions where a tactile, printed look is desirable.
The distressed surface and buoyant proportions give the face a lively, tactile personality—like inked rubber stamps, screen prints, or cut-paper lettering. It reads as upbeat and attention-seeking, with a vintage craft sensibility and a hint of roughness that keeps it from feeling corporate or sterile.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, handcrafted tone, combining rounded, approachable forms with deliberate distressing to evoke analog printing and DIY ephemera. It prioritizes personality and texture over neutral readability, making it a strong choice for expressive display typography.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a deliberately imperfect color on the page that becomes a defining feature at larger sizes. Spacing appears roomy enough for display settings, while the internal wear and soft contours keep dense text from feeling overly rigid.
