A heavy, hand-rendered sans with rounded, slightly irregular construction and visibly rough edges. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with small notches, wobbles, and uneven terminals that suggest ink or paint applied on absorbent paper. Counters tend to be compact and soft-edged, and curves (notably in O/C/G) feel inflated and organic rather than geometric. Overall spacing reads open and breathable for such a dense weight, while the letterforms keep a consistent, intentionally imperfect rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This face is best used at display sizes where the rough outline and inky texture can be appreciated—posters, event graphics, packaging, menu headers, labels, and merchandise. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when a casual, handmade voice is desired, but the dense weight and texture make it less ideal for long-form body text.
The texture and uneven contours give the font a handmade, approachable tone with a scrappy, energetic edge. It feels casual and personable—more like hand-painted signage or a stamped label than a polished corporate sans—making it well suited to lively, character-forward messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic an expressive, hand-inked sans: bold, legible silhouettes paired with deliberately imperfect edges to add warmth and character. It aims for a balance of readability and personality, delivering an informal, tactile look without relying on decorative add-ons.
Capitals are sturdy and blocky with softened corners, while lowercase maintains simple, readable silhouettes and a compact, single-storey feel in key forms. Numerals are similarly chunky and rounded, matching the overall inked, distressed texture so mixed alphanumeric settings remain cohesive.
