A heavy, chunky sans with rounded bowls and compact counters, set on a steady upright structure. Strokes are broad and generally uniform, but edges show deliberate irregularities—slight waviness, nicks, and softened corners—creating a printed/inked texture rather than crisp geometry. Curves dominate the construction (O, C, G, S), while straight stems remain sturdy and slightly uneven, giving the alphabet a lively rhythm. Numerals are equally weighty and simplified, with a prominent, rounded 8 and a sturdy, open 4.
Best suited to display work where its texture and weight can read clearly: posters, bold headlines, packaging, labels, and brand marks that want a friendly, crafted voice. It can also work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, menus, social graphics) where a casual, retro presence is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a vintage sign-painting or screen-printed feel. Its roughened edges and bouncy proportions add warmth and personality, suggesting something crafted by hand rather than purely mechanical. The result feels approachable and a little mischievous, suited to energetic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver strong impact with an intentionally imperfect, ink-pressed finish—combining simple rounded letterforms with roughened contours to evoke analog printing and hand-made signage.
Spacing and sidebearings appear intentionally inconsistent in places, reinforcing the handmade impression. Large apertures and thick joins keep shapes recognizable at display sizes, while the texture becomes more noticeable as size increases.
