A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners, bulbous terminals, and slightly irregular outlines that suggest worn rubber-stamp or rough print edges. Strokes are thick with noticeable internal contouring and small nicks that create a distressed, inked texture, especially along curves and at joins. Proportions are friendly and compact, with open counters and simplified shapes; diagonals and arms tend to be short and stout, keeping the overall rhythm dense and bold. Numerals and uppercase forms read like poster lettering, while lowercase maintains the same chunky, handmade consistency.
Best suited for display applications where texture and personality are desirable, such as posters, event titles, playful branding, snack or craft packaging, stickers, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for short social media headlines or signage where a friendly, handmade feel is the goal.
The font conveys a playful, quirky energy with a touch of vintage storefront and DIY craft character. Its distressed edges add grit and informality, making it feel lively and human rather than polished or corporate. Overall it reads as fun, attention-grabbing, and slightly mischievous.
Likely designed to deliver a big, approachable display voice with a deliberately worn print texture, combining rounded cartoon-like construction with distressed edges for instant character and impact.
The texture is consistent enough to feel intentionally designed rather than random noise, with the most visible wear appearing as small scallops and uneven ink-like edges. The bold mass and rounded geometry keep it readable at display sizes, while the built-in roughness becomes more apparent as sizes increase.
