A heavy, rounded display face with compact, softly inflated shapes and an uneven, hand-inked finish. Strokes are thick with noticeable contrast created by irregular edge buildup and small interior nicks, giving counters a slightly pinched, imperfect look. Terminals are blunt and rounded, curves are generous, and joins feel organic rather than mechanically smooth. Spacing and widths vary subtly across characters, reinforcing a made-by-hand rhythm while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short, bold copy such as posters, packaging, labels, stickers, and punchy headlines where texture can be appreciated. It also fits playful branding and kid-oriented or hobby/craft contexts, and can add warmth to event promos and social graphics.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a crafty, DIY personality that reads as screen-printed or stamped. Its soft geometry keeps it friendly, while the distressed texture adds character and a lightly vintage, lived-in feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly silhouette while adding analog personality through a deliberately imperfect, distressed inked texture.
The distressing appears as consistent edge chatter and occasional interior speckling, more like ink spread and worn printing than torn paper. Numerals and lowercase share the same rounded, weighty construction, producing a cohesive, poster-ready color on the page.
