A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and subtly irregular contours that read as hand-cut or inked. Terminals are blunt and often softly squared, with curves that feel slightly wobbly rather than mathematically perfect. Counters are compact and rounded, and the overall rhythm is lively, with small variations in stroke edge and letterfit that keep the texture visible in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and attention-grabbing labels where a bold, tactile texture is an asset. It also works well for playful branding, event graphics, and merchandise text, especially at medium to large sizes where the edge character can be appreciated.
The overall tone is casual and approachable, with a crafted, slightly roughened presence that feels energetic rather than polished. It suggests a fun, analog attitude—more zine and screen-print than corporate branding—while staying clear enough for short messages.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, handmade texture, combining simple geometric bones with intentionally imperfect edges to create an analog, screen-printed feel.
Capitals are strong and blocky, while lowercase retains the same weight and texture, helping mixed-case setting look cohesive. Numerals match the letterforms’ stout, rounded construction, supporting display use where a consistent, bold color is desired.
