A heavy, rounded sans with chunky proportions and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and fairly consistent, with blunt terminals and slightly irregular edges that read like ink spread or a rough press. Counters are compact and the apertures tend toward closed, giving the face a solid, poster-like texture. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy constructions (single-storey a and g), and the figures are bold, geometric, and tightly drawn to match the dense overall color.
Best suited for display work where bold impact and tactile character are desirable—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and sticker-style graphics. It can also work for short UI headings or social graphics when a friendly, craft-like voice is needed, while longer passages may benefit from generous sizing and spacing to offset the dense counters.
The font conveys a casual, handmade energy—friendly and approachable, with a bit of ruggedness from the imperfect outlines. Its mass and softness feel retro and craft-oriented rather than sleek or technical, making text look warm, punchy, and informal.
The design appears intended to provide a high-impact, approachable sans with a deliberately imperfect, printed/handmade finish. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a textured, tactile presence that helps simple forms feel lively and distinctive in branding and headline settings.
Texture is a defining feature: edges appear slightly distressed and uneven, which adds character at display sizes but can also make small sizes feel darker and more compact. Round letters like O and 8 are notably dense due to smaller interior spaces, reinforcing the stout rhythm across words and lines.
