A heavy, rounded display face with an intentionally rough, hand-cut edge. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, with small notches and ragged terminals that create a stamped/inked texture. Counters are compact and sometimes slightly uneven, while curves stay broadly circular and soft. Proportions are lively and inconsistent in small ways—widths, joins, and endings vary to keep a hand-drawn rhythm—yet the overall silhouette remains cohesive and highly legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, product packaging, and short callouts where texture and personality are desired. It works well for kid-friendly themes, event flyers, stickers, and merchandise graphics, and can also add a handcrafted tone to signage when set with ample spacing.
The font reads as playful and informal, with a friendly cartoon energy. Its rugged edges and chunky forms suggest craft, DIY, and screen-printed ephemera rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a handmade, slightly messy finish—combining rounded, approachable shapes with roughened edges to emulate brush, stamp, or cut-paper lettering in a consistent display style.
The rough perimeter treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving text a mottled, tactile color. The heaviness and tight counters can cause letters to visually merge at small sizes or in dense settings, so extra tracking and generous leading help in paragraphs.
