A heavy, chunky sans with rounded construction and softly squared terminals. Strokes are thick and relatively even, with subtly irregular outlines that create a printed/hand-cut texture rather than perfectly geometric edges. Counters are compact but open enough to keep forms readable at display sizes, and the letterforms lean on broad, stable proportions with gentle curves and minimal detailing. The overall rhythm feels sturdy and slightly bouncy, with small inconsistencies that read as intentional character rather than distortion.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, packaging, and punchy social graphics where its chunky forms and textured edge can be appreciated. It can also work for short captions or labels that want a handmade, stamped feel, but extended body text will appear dense and busy due to the heavy weight and roughened contours.
The font conveys a playful, approachable tone with a tactile, DIY energy. Its roughened edges and dense weight suggest something stamped, screen-printed, or cut from paper—confident and attention-grabbing without feeling formal. The result is friendly and a bit cheeky, suited to bold messages that benefit from personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly sans voice with an intentionally imperfect, tactile finish. It prioritizes impact and character—like ink pressed onto paper—while keeping familiar, rounded skeletons for quick recognition.
In the sample text, the texture becomes more apparent across long lines, giving a lively, organic color on the page. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, matching the letters for cohesive headline setting. The overall silhouette stays clear at large sizes, while the roughness can become the dominant feature as sizes shrink.
