A chunky, rounded sans with soft, inflated contours and subtly uneven geometry. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline, with slightly wobbly verticals and irregular curves that keep the rhythm lively rather than rigid. Edges and counters show a worn, speckled texture, as if printed with imperfect ink coverage; shapes remain clear but intentionally imperfect. Capitals read broad and sturdy, while lowercase forms stay simple and open, keeping word shapes legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and merch graphics where the rough texture can be appreciated. It also works well for playful branding elements, labels, and social graphics, especially when used at larger sizes where the distressed details don’t fill in.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, with a gritty, imperfect finish that adds character and a DIY sensibility. It feels casual and fun rather than formal, mixing a friendly cartoon energy with a lightly weathered, screen-printed look.
The design appears intended to deliver bold readability with a deliberately imperfect, worn finish—capturing the feel of handmade lettering or rough printing while staying straightforward and friendly in silhouette.
Texture is present across most glyphs, including numerals, creating a consistent distressed voice. The rounded terminals and compact joins help maintain color on the page, while the irregularities add movement and prevent the heavy weight from feeling static.
