A chunky, hand-drawn sans with heavy, mostly monoline strokes and noticeably irregular outlines. Letterforms are compact and tall, with rounded terminals and subtly wavy sides that create a stamped/marker-like texture. Counters are simple and fairly open for the weight, while widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic rhythm. The overall construction stays upright and readable, but the edges and joins retain a deliberately imperfect, worn-in feel.
Well-suited to short, bold messages where a handmade, textured voice is desirable—posters, packaging callouts, labels, stickers, and social media graphics. It can also work for playful branding and event promos, especially when paired with cleaner supporting text for longer reading.
The font reads friendly and informal, with a comic, homemade energy. Its roughened contours add a tactile, slightly grungy character that feels approachable rather than aggressive. The tone is lighthearted and quirky, suggesting fun, personality-forward messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a bold display voice with an intentionally rough, hand-inked finish—capturing the spontaneity of marker lettering or imperfect print while keeping letterforms straightforward enough for quick recognition.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent hand-rendered texture, and the numerals match the same chunky, uneven cut. The texture becomes part of the color of text in longer lines, producing a lively, mottled rhythm that works best when the roughness is allowed to show at display sizes.
