A heavy, hand-rendered sans with rounded, compact forms and blunt terminals. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, but edges show visible wobble and ink-like texture, giving each character an irregular, stamped/brush-painted silhouette. Counters are small and somewhat uneven, and curves (notably in O/C/G and lowercase bowls) feel soft rather than geometric, with slight asymmetries that create a lively rhythm. Overall spacing reads tight and compact, with a sturdy, blocky presence in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, bold headings, packaging callouts, stickers, and merchandise graphics where a handmade look is desirable. It can also work for playful branding accents or event signage, especially when paired with a cleaner text face for longer reading.
The tone is informal and approachable, with a crafty, DIY energy that feels closer to marker lettering or painted signage than polished typography. Its roughened edges and bouncy consistency add personality and a slightly gritty, street-poster attitude while staying friendly and readable at display sizes.
The design appears intended to simulate bold hand lettering with an intentionally imperfect, ink-on-paper edge. It prioritizes character and tactility over precision, aiming to deliver a strong, friendly voice that feels crafted and human.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same chunky, rounded construction, and the figures match the set’s hand-inked texture, making the font feel cohesive across mixed-case settings and numerals. The texture is strong enough to be a defining feature, so it reads best when the inked edges can remain visible.
