A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and broad, blocky proportions. Strokes feel brush- or marker-drawn, with subtly uneven edges, soft corners, and slight wobble in curves and horizontals that keeps the texture lively. The overall geometry is simple and sturdy—round letters (O, C) are generously open while joins and terminals stay blunt and filled-in, producing a dense, poster-ready color. Spacing appears fairly generous for such heavy shapes, helping letters remain distinct in short words and headings.
Best suited for display typography: posters, large headlines, packaging, merch, stickers, and social graphics where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It can work for short bursts of text (subheads, callouts, labels), but the dense strokes and textured edges suggest avoiding long paragraphs at small sizes.
The font projects a casual, approachable personality with a tactile, handmade ink feel. Its irregular edges and chunky forms give it an energetic, slightly mischievous tone that reads as informal and fun rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, handmade sensibility—combining simple rounded skeletons with a deliberately imperfect, inked finish to keep large text expressive and human.
Capitals maintain a consistent, squat silhouette, while lowercase forms remain clear and uncomplicated, favoring single-storey constructions and simple bowls. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded vocabulary and hold up well at display sizes where the textured edges become part of the character.
