A chunky, hand-rendered sans with irregular, roughened contours that feel like ink stamped or painted with a dry brush. Strokes are heavy and generally uniform, with rounded terminals and visibly wobbly edges that create a mottled silhouette. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with simple, open counters and a bouncy baseline rhythm; the forms stay upright but vary subtly in width and shape from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where the rough texture can be appreciated: posters, event promos, product packaging, stickers, apparel graphics, and social media headlines. It can also work for playful subheads or pull quotes when paired with a cleaner text face for body copy.
The overall tone is playful and scrappy, pairing friendly rounded shapes with a worn, imperfect texture. It suggests DIY craft, zine graphics, and casual humor—energetic without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a deliberately imperfect, worn print/handmade texture. It prioritizes personality and tactile presence over precision, aiming for an expressive, crafted look that feels human and informal.
Uppercase forms read like simplified block letters with softened corners, while lowercase keeps a single-storey, handwritten sensibility (notably in a, g, and e). Numerals are stout and characterful, matching the same rough edge treatment and giving headings and badges an informal, tactile punch.
