A chunky, rounded display face with hand-drawn proportions and slightly variable character widths. Strokes are heavy and softly tapered, with irregular, roughened interior cutouts that read like dry brush, worn ink, or distressed printing. Terminals are blunt and organic rather than geometric, and curves are generously open, giving letters a bouncy, informal rhythm. Numerals match the same thick, inky construction and textured counters for a cohesive set.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, product packaging, café menus, event flyers, and brand marks that benefit from a handmade, tactile look. The heavy strokes and visible texture help it hold presence on simple backgrounds and in print-inspired layouts.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a casual, crafty personality. Its distressed texture adds a vintage, analog feel—suggesting screen print, stamped ink, or weathered signage—without becoming harsh or aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver a friendly, hand-rendered display voice with built-in distressing, capturing the character of imperfect ink coverage and worn print. The emphasis is on personality and tactile texture over strict uniformity, making it ideal for themed or craft-forward visuals.
Texture is most noticeable in rounded bowls and vertical stems, creating a lively sparkle at larger sizes. The irregularities are consistent across the alphabet, so the set feels intentionally crafted rather than randomly degraded.
