A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and blunt terminals. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with softly squared corners and slightly irregular outlines that create a subtle, printed/hand-cut texture. Counters are generous and mostly round, keeping forms open at larger text sizes, while the overall rhythm remains steady despite the intentional roughness. The lowercase shows straightforward, single-storey constructions (notably a and g), and the numerals match the same chunky, simplified geometry.
Well-suited to short headlines, posters, packaging callouts, stickers, and social graphics where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It also works for playful branding elements and section headers, especially when the textured edges can be appreciated at display sizes.
The texture and softened geometry give the face a warm, approachable tone with a handmade, slightly gritty character. It reads as informal and upbeat, suggesting craft, street-postering energy, or playful utility rather than polished corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge simple rounded sans construction with a deliberately imperfect, hand-produced finish, delivering an approachable display voice that feels printed, stamped, or cut from paper.
The font’s deliberate edge roughness and slightly uneven stroke boundaries become more apparent as size increases, where the ink-like texture reads as a defining feature. Spacing appears moderately loose, supporting clear word shapes in short bursts of text while maintaining a strong, poster-like presence.
