A heavy, rounded sans with softly squared corners and compact, sturdy proportions. Strokes show visible irregularity and slight edge roughness, creating a stamped/inked texture rather than a clean geometric finish. Curves are generous and full, counters are mostly open, and terminals tend to be blunt, giving letters a solid, blocky rhythm. The overall spacing feels even and readable, with a consistent, hand-printed character across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a friendly, tactile presence is desired—posters, packaging labels, café/retail signage, event promos, and identity marks. The built-in texture helps it stand out at larger sizes and in high-contrast print or screen applications.
The texture and softened shapes give the face a warm, approachable tone with a retro, analog feel. It reads as informal and human, suggesting craft, printmaking, or hand-set signage rather than corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand printing or rubber-stamp lettering while keeping the structure simple and legible. It prioritizes warmth and visual personality through controlled irregularity and rounded, sturdy forms.
Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase retains simple, single-storey constructions in several letters, reinforcing an easygoing, vernacular voice. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded logic and maintain clear silhouettes for display use.
