A chunky, rounded sans with visibly irregular outlines that mimic inked or hand-drawn strokes. Terminals are generally blunt and softly squared, with gentle corner rounding and slight waviness that keeps counters and bowls from feeling perfectly geometric. Curves are broad and open, and straight strokes show subtle wobble, creating an uneven—but consistent—rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The overall color is dense and dark, with simple forms and minimal detailing for strong silhouette readability.
Best suited for display-driven work where personality matters: posters, packaging, product labels, social graphics, and brand marks that want a handcrafted feel. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the textured outlines may feel busy at very small sizes or in long passages.
The font conveys an approachable, handmade warmth with a slightly rough, screen-printed character. Its imperfections feel intentional, giving it an informal, human tone that reads as friendly and a bit mischievous rather than strict or corporate.
The design appears intended to bring a handcrafted, print-like texture to a clean sans foundation, balancing simple, rounded construction with deliberate irregularity for added warmth and authenticity. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and friendly shapes over precision, aiming for an approachable, artisanal tone.
Capitals have sturdy, simplified construction and rely on strong shapes more than fine modulation; round letters like O/C/G feel especially full and soft. Lowercase maintains the same blunt, organic logic, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) that support a casual voice. Numerals are bold and uncomplicated, matching the textured edge quality of the letters.
