A heavy, rounded sans with simplified, chunky forms and softly blunted terminals. Strokes are fairly even with gentle modulation, and counters are compact but open enough to keep letters readable at larger sizes. The outlines show purposeful irregularity—slight wobble in curves and a worn, speckled texture that appears within the black shapes—creating an inked, printed, or stamped feel. Overall proportions are sturdy and compact, with lowercase forms leaning toward single-storey simplicity and short, sturdy joins.
Best suited for display use where the texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, product packaging, café or market signage, and lifestyle branding. It also works well for merchandise graphics and social media titles where a friendly, tactile tone is desired.
The texture and softened geometry give the font a warm, informal personality—confident and approachable rather than strict or technical. Its distressed finish reads as tactile and nostalgic, evoking hand-printed signage, screen print, or packaging with a bit of grit.
Likely designed to provide a bold, highly legible display voice with a deliberately worn, handcrafted surface. The goal appears to be combining simple rounded geometry with print-like imperfections to add character and a physical, analog feel.
Round letters (O, C, G, Q) show consistent, soft curvature, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thick and slightly uneven, reinforcing the handmade rhythm. Numerals are similarly chunky and friendly, matching the letterforms without sharp corners.
