A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and softly squared bowls. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, while edges and terminals show deliberate irregularities that mimic ink spread or a rough press impression. Curves lean toward superelliptical shapes, with wide counters and simplified interior forms that keep letters open at display sizes. Widths vary noticeably across the set, giving the alphabet an uneven, organic rhythm rather than a strictly modular feel.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short bursts of copy where its rough texture and chunky forms can be appreciated. It works well for packaging, labels, and branding that aims for a handmade or vintage-leaning feel, and can add character to stickers, merch, and social graphics. For long reading, it will be more effective at larger sizes where counters and edge detail stay clear.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a handmade roughness that reads as approachable and slightly nostalgic. Its chunky shapes and softened corners add warmth, while the uneven edges introduce personality and a DIY, poster-like energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with a tactile, imperfect finish—combining rounded, superellipse-like geometry with purposeful roughness to suggest print texture and handcrafted authenticity.
In text settings the texture becomes more apparent, as small nicks and waviness along stems and curves create a consistent “worn” color across lines. Numerals follow the same sturdy, rounded construction, matching the alphabet’s dense presence and casual pacing.
