A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are chunky and mostly monoline in spirit, but the edges show deliberate irregularities—subtle wobble, nicks, and roughened contours—giving the shapes a stamped or cut-out feel. Curves are generous and bowls are full, while joins and terminals stay blunt and simplified. Spacing reads relatively tight at display sizes, with a lively, slightly uneven rhythm that emphasizes the hand-rendered texture.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, packaging, and bold label typography where the chunky forms and textured edges can be appreciated. It also works well for playful branding, event graphics, stickers, and kid-oriented or craft-themed materials that benefit from an informal, handmade feel.
The font projects a playful, casual tone with a tactile, handmade character. Its soft, bulbous forms feel friendly and approachable, while the roughened edges add a quirky, craft-forward energy that can read retro or zine-like depending on context.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with soft, rounded geometry while avoiding a sterile vector finish. The controlled roughness suggests an intention to mimic print artifacts or hand-cut lettering, pairing clear letterforms with a tactile, personality-driven surface.
The distressed perimeter treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating strong ink presence and high visibility. The overall silhouette remains clear at large sizes, but the small counters and texture suggest better performance in headlines than in dense, small text.
