A heavy, rounded sans with chunky silhouettes and visibly irregular, rough-cut edges. Strokes maintain a generally even weight, but the outlines wobble and chip slightly, creating a hand-made, stamped texture. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched or off-center, and terminals tend to end in soft, flattened shapes rather than sharp cuts. Overall spacing and rhythm feel lively and uneven in a deliberate way, with simplified geometry and minimal internal detail for strong impact at larger sizes.
Best suited for short, bold applications such as posters, titles, packaging, labels, and promotional graphics where the rough, handmade texture can be appreciated. It can also work for playful branding elements and display copy, especially when set with generous size and spacing to preserve readability.
The font projects an energetic, informal tone that feels crafty and a bit mischievous. Its distressed, blobby shapes evoke a DIY print or cut-paper look, giving copy a playful, retro-leaning attitude rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a friendly, imperfect texture—mimicking hand-pressed or roughly cut letterforms while keeping a simple sans structure for immediate recognition.
In text, the heavy color and tight counters create a dense typographic texture, while the irregular contours keep it from feeling rigid. The numerals match the same chunky, worn-in character, supporting headline use where personality matters more than precision.
