A chunky, hand-drawn sans with compact proportions, slightly uneven widths, and softly irregular outlines. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, with gently rounded corners and occasional wobble that keeps the rhythm lively rather than rigid. The defining feature is a consistent field of small interior cutouts—pinholes and speckles—distributed through the strokes, giving each glyph a textured, perforated look. Counters stay open and readable, and the overall spacing feels straightforward, with a casual, slightly bouncy baseline impression in running text.
Best suited to display applications where the interior texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and promotional graphics. It can also work for short bursts of text in playful branding systems, especially when an analog, printed look is desired.
The texture and imperfect contours create an energetic, crafty tone—somewhere between stamped lettering, screen-printed ink, and playful signage. It reads as friendly and informal, with a lightly worn, analog character that suggests tactile materials and DIY production.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-getting display voice while adding instant character through built-in texture. The consistent speckled perforations and rough edges suggest a deliberate “printed/inked” aesthetic meant to feel handmade and lightly weathered without sacrificing legibility.
In the sample text, the speckling remains prominent at display sizes and becomes a strong visual motif; at smaller sizes it may read more as grain than as distinct holes. Numerals are sturdy and simple, matching the uppercase for weight and presence, while lowercase shapes keep a casual, hand-rendered feel.
