A chunky, rounded sans with heavy strokes and compact counters, built from simple geometric forms but finished with visibly uneven, hand-inked edges. Terminals are blunt and softly squared, with slightly wobbly outlines that give the shapes a stamped or brush-printed feel. Curves in letters like O, C, and S are broad and smooth, while straight strokes show subtle waviness and small inconsistencies that keep texture present across the set. Overall spacing reads sturdy and open at display sizes, with simplified details that prioritize silhouette clarity over precision.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where its heavy weight and textured edges can read clearly and contribute personality. It works well for posters, playful branding, packaging, labels, and children-oriented or casual consumer applications. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes due to the dense stroke weight and compact interior spaces.
The font projects a warm, approachable energy with a DIY, poster-like character. Its imperfect edges and soft geometry feel informal and human, suggesting craft, fun, and a touch of retro playfulness rather than corporate neutrality. The bold presence makes it attention-grabbing without becoming aggressive.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, friendly display voice with a handcrafted, slightly rough print texture. It balances simple rounded construction with intentional irregularity to feel more tactile and human, making it well-suited for expressive, informal typography.
Numerals are round and weighty, matching the letters’ simplified construction and soft corners. The lowercase maintains the same chunky rhythm as the uppercase, with single-storey forms where applicable and an overall emphasis on friendly, cartoon-adjacent shapes. The texture is consistent enough to feel intentional, like a designed “rough” finish rather than random distortion.
