A chunky sans with rounded geometry and visibly irregular, hand-inked edges. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, with subtle wobble and slight swelling that creates a stamped or brush-painted feel. Counters stay open and simple, terminals are blunt, and curves are generously rounded; proportions lean condensed with tight interior space in letters like B, P, and R. The overall rhythm is lively and slightly inconsistent in a deliberate way, prioritizing character over mechanical precision.
Works best for short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, labels, and packaging where a handmade, friendly voice is desired. It also suits playful branding, craft products, and kid-oriented materials, especially when used with generous spacing and strong contrast against the background.
The font conveys an informal, approachable tone with a crafty, homemade warmth. Its roughened outlines and bouncy proportions suggest something tactile—like marker, paint, or a worn rubber stamp—making it feel cheerful and a bit mischievous rather than corporate or refined.
Likely designed to emulate a hand-rendered, printed impression—combining simple sans letterforms with intentionally rough contours for a tactile, informal presence. The emphasis appears to be on charm and immediacy rather than strict uniformity or typographic neutrality.
In continuous text, the textured edges remain prominent and add personality at display sizes, while the dense stroke weight can make small sizes feel busy. Numerals follow the same rounded, hand-drawn construction, keeping the set visually cohesive.
