A heavy, rounded sans with a pronounced forward slant and slightly uneven, hand-cut edges. Strokes are thick and compact, with softly blunted terminals and subtly irregular contours that create a stamped or brushy texture. Curves are generous and closed counters tend to be small, giving letters a dense, punchy silhouette. Spacing reads moderately open for the weight, and overall rhythm feels lively rather than strictly geometric.
Best suited to display use where impact and personality matter—posters, bold headlines, packaging, and logo/brand marks. It can also work for short callouts on social graphics or merch, where the textured, hand-rendered feel adds character.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a casual, handmade personality. Its slanted stance and roughened edges add momentum and warmth, suggesting an informal, playful voice rather than a polished corporate one.
Likely designed to deliver an emphatic, friendly display voice that feels handcrafted and energetic. The combination of heavy strokes, rounded construction, and controlled roughness aims to read as bold and fun while avoiding a sterile geometric look.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and simplified, while lowercase keeps rounded bowls and short, chunky joins that reinforce the informal texture. Numerals match the same thick, slightly irregular construction, staying highly graphic and attention-getting.
