A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and fairly even, but the edges show deliberate irregularity—slight wobble, nicks, and uneven terminals—creating a printed/inked texture rather than a purely geometric finish. Counters are open and generous for the weight, and many joins and corners are subtly softened, giving the alphabet a sturdy, approachable silhouette. Numerals match the letterforms with simple, high-impact shapes and the same distressed edge behavior.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, packaging, and identity work that benefits from an informal, hand-printed voice. The strong shapes and open counters help it stay readable at medium-to-large sizes, making it effective for short copy, signage, and attention-grabbing promotional graphics.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, with a handmade, slightly gritty feel that suggests screen print, stamped lettering, or rough inking. It reads as friendly and bold without feeling corporate, leaning toward playful display character rather than neutral text utility.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-inked lettering in a dependable, all-caps-and-lowercase sans structure—combining sturdy, rounded forms with controlled roughness to add warmth and personality.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping large settings feel lively and tactile. Spacing appears comfortably wide in the sample text, supporting punchy headlines and short paragraphs where the roughness becomes part of the voice.
