A compact, heavy-stroked display face with hand-drawn irregularities and gently rough edges. Letterforms are built from simple, rounded-rectangle shapes with blunt terminals, minimal internal detailing, and a slightly wobbly baseline that adds human rhythm. Counters tend to be small and closed, with softened corners throughout; overall spacing is tight and the silhouette reads dense and dark. The figures and lowercase follow the same blocky construction, maintaining consistent weight and an intentionally imperfect, stamped-in look.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where a bold, handcrafted voice is desirable—posters, packaging, labels, stickers, social graphics, and event flyers. It can work for playful branding and punchy headlines, but the dense color and tight interior space suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The font conveys a friendly, mischievous handmade tone—more DIY and crafty than formal. Its dark color and uneven texture give it a lively, slightly gritty personality that feels approachable and energetic rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to emulate informal hand lettering with a deliberately rough finish, combining a strong, compact presence with casual charm. It prioritizes character and impact over geometric precision, aiming for an eye-catching, tactile feel in display settings.
The texture appears most noticeable at curves and terminals, where edges look subtly chipped or brushed. Uppercase shapes are especially compact and sturdy, while lowercase retains the same stout proportions, producing a unified, poster-like rhythm across mixed-case text.
