A heavy, rounded sans with an intentionally rough, inked edge. Strokes are thick and compact with uneven contours that suggest a brush or sponge application, producing subtle wobble and occasional pinched corners at joins. Counters tend to be small and somewhat irregular, and terminals are mostly blunt rather than tapered. Overall rhythm is lively and slightly bouncy, with small variations in character widths and shape consistency that read as deliberately handcrafted rather than geometric precision.
Best used where strong presence and character matter: posters, signage, packaging, social graphics, and punchy editorial headlines. The textured edges and tight counters suggest using it at medium to large sizes, where the rough detail reads clearly and adds visual interest.
The texture and softened shapes give the face a casual, approachable tone with a hint of grit. It feels energetic and informal—more like a stamped or painted headline than a polished corporate sans—making it well suited to expressive, personality-forward typography.
The design appears intended to emulate hand-rendered lettering with a printed/painted texture while keeping a simple sans structure for immediate readability. It prioritizes personality and impact over strict uniformity, aiming for an expressive, approachable display voice.
Uppercase forms remain simple and sturdy, while lowercase letters show more personality in their bowls and stems, reinforcing the handmade feel. Numerals are bold and attention-grabbing, matching the letters’ roughened perimeter and compact interior spaces.
