A heavy, rounded sans with thick strokes and softly inflated shapes. The outlines are deliberately irregular, with subtle wobble, roughened edges, and occasional nicks that create a hand-rendered texture. Counters are compact but generally open enough to stay readable, and terminals tend to be blunt and softly curved rather than sharply cut. Overall spacing feels slightly uneven in an intentional way, contributing to an organic rhythm across words and lines.
Well suited to display roles such as posters, short headlines, packaging callouts, and playful branding where a handmade feel is desired. It also works for children’s or classroom-style materials and informal signage. For best results, use at larger sizes where the rough contours and rounded shapes can read clearly.
The font conveys an informal, cheerful tone with a DIY, marker-like energy. Its chunky forms feel approachable and youthful, leaning toward fun and expressive rather than precise or corporate. The rough edge treatment adds personality and a lightly rebellious, crafty character.
Likely designed to mimic a bold hand-painted or marker-lettered look while retaining the simple structure of a rounded sans. The intention appears to be delivering high-impact, friendly display text with visible human texture and an intentionally imperfect finish.
In running text, the strong weight produces dense color, and the textured edges become a prominent stylistic feature. The numeral set matches the same chunky, hand-drawn construction, supporting cohesive use in headlines with dates or pricing. Because the texture is part of the silhouette, it reads most confidently when given adequate size and contrast.
