A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and softly swollen strokes. Edges are intentionally irregular, with a subtly distressed, ink-stamped texture that creates lively outlines and slightly uneven terminals. Counters are generally open and simple, with broad curves in O/C/G and sturdy, blocky stems in letters like E, F, H, and N; overall spacing reads even and poster-like despite the organic wobble. Numerals match the same chunky, textured construction and maintain strong, uniform color on the page.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, logos, product packaging, and social graphics where texture and personality are desirable. It can also work for brief subheads or callouts, though the rough edges may reduce clarity at very small sizes or in dense paragraphs.
The font conveys a warm, handmade attitude—confident and approachable rather than refined. Its roughened contour and bouncy rhythm suggest craft printing, playful packaging, or casual signage with a bit of grit. The overall tone is energetic and bold without feeling aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, rounded sans silhouette while adding handcrafted texture for character and immediacy. The consistent distressing and simplified shapes prioritize strong visual presence and an informal, tactile impression over crisp typographic neutrality.
The distressed outline treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving a cohesive “printed” feel. Lowercase forms are straightforward and readable, with single-storey a and g and rounded joins that keep text friendly at display sizes.
