A heavy, rounded display face with soft corners and blobby, hand-drawn construction. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with irregular internal cutouts and pockmarked counters that create a hollowed, distressed texture throughout. Curves dominate and joins are simplified, giving letters a compact, cushiony silhouette; terminals are rounded and slightly uneven, reinforcing an informal rhythm. Numerals match the same chunky proportions and maintain the same internal knockout detailing for a consistent color on the page.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, playful branding, packaging, labels, and merch graphics where the textured cutouts can be appreciated. It can also work for children’s materials or casual social graphics, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a DIY, crafted character that feels nostalgic and lightly grungy rather than harsh. The speckled cutouts add personality and a tactile, stamped/printed vibe that reads as casual and fun.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with built-in texture and internal knockout detail, evoking hand-made printing and crafted signage. It prioritizes character and tactile presence over minimalism and small-size neutrality.
The dense weight produces strong impact in headlines, while the interior knockouts prevent large black shapes from feeling flat. The texture is prominent at larger sizes and becomes more visually busy as sizes decrease, so spacing and size choice will strongly affect clarity.
