A chunky, rounded sans with a hand-drawn construction and visibly irregular ink texture. Strokes are heavy with softened corners, uneven terminals, and small internal speckling that reads like worn printing or marker bleed. The outlines vary subtly from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; counters are generally open but occasionally pinched by the texture. Proportions lean friendly and compact, with simple geometric bases (notably in O/C) tempered by organic wobble, and numerals that share the same thick, slightly uneven footprint.
Best suited to display settings where the textured, handmade character can be appreciated—posters, event titles, packaging, labels, and bold social graphics. It also works well for short blurbs and pull quotes when you want a friendly, imperfect voice rather than a polished editorial look.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a crafty, tactile feel that suggests DIY signage or playful packaging. Its roughened finish adds warmth and personality, making the text feel less corporate and more human.
The design appears intended to deliver a cheerful, handcrafted sans with a deliberately worn/inked surface, balancing simple rounded forms with organic irregularity for maximum personality in headings and branded phrases.
In longer text, the distressed interior artifacts remain consistently visible and contribute to a dark, energetic color on the page. The texture can create slight sparkle in large sizes, while at smaller sizes it may visually thicken joins and narrow counters, reinforcing its bold, punchy presence.
