A heavy, rounded sans with chunky silhouettes and visibly irregular outlines that feel inked or cut by hand. Strokes are broadly consistent but not mechanically smooth, with small notches, waviness, and softened corners that create a worn, tactile edge. Counters are compact and sometimes slightly off-center, and curves (O/C/G, 6/8/9) read as squarish rounds rather than perfect circles. Spacing and widths vary by letter, giving the line a lively rhythm while keeping overall forms sturdy and legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where its dense weight and roughened edges can do the branding work—posters, packaging, labels, stickers, event promos, and social graphics. It can also work for logotypes and merch applications where a handmade, screen-printed feel is desirable.
The font conveys an energetic, scrappy character—part DIY printmaking, part vintage headline. Its dark color and imperfect edges create a bold, approachable voice that feels casual and a little mischievous rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a handcrafted texture, combining rounded, friendly shapes with deliberately imperfect contours for a tactile, analog look.
The capitals are blocky and emphatic, while the lowercase maintains the same chunky construction with simplified joins and minimal delicacy. Numerals match the heavy, rounded language and appear designed to hold up in loud, high-contrast settings. The texture from the uneven contours becomes a prominent feature, especially in longer lines of text.
