A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners, slightly irregular outlines, and a subtly inky/pressed texture that gives strokes a hand-made edge. Curves are full and generous, with mostly blunt terminals and compact counters that keep the color dense. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, producing an uneven rhythm and slightly bouncy spacing, while maintaining clear, simple letter constructions and straightforward upright stance.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy where texture and presence are desirable—posters, packaging labels, logo lockups, headers, and social graphics. It can also work for brief callouts or captions when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels warm and casual, like hand-cut signage or a stamped print. Its uneven edges and sturdy shapes read approachable and a bit retro, adding personality without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to combine a clean, simple sans structure with a deliberately imperfect, print-like finish, creating a bold voice that feels crafted rather than purely digital.
The figures and lowercase share the same chunky, rounded construction, helping the set feel cohesive in display sizes. At smaller sizes the dense counters and textured edges may reduce crispness, but at larger sizes the tactile character becomes a feature.
