A heavy, rounded sans with softly blunted terminals and slightly uneven contours that suggest a hand-cut or stamped origin. Curves are generous and compact, with counters kept fairly open for the weight, while straight strokes show subtle wobble and organic edge texture. Proportions feel sturdy and slightly condensed in places, with simple, single-storey lowercase forms and a short-tailed “q,” contributing to an approachable, utilitarian rhythm. Numerals are solid and blocky, matching the letters with consistent stroke mass and rounded corners.
Best suited for posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and brand moments that want a handcrafted or casual voice. It can work in short paragraphs at larger sizes, but it is especially effective for titles, pull quotes, and punchy messaging where the chunky, textured forms can carry personality.
The overall tone is warm and down-to-earth, combining a playful friendliness with a roughened, handmade character. It reads as approachable rather than formal, with a crafted, DIY sensibility that feels lively and human.
Likely designed to deliver a friendly, handmade sans look with sturdy readability and a tactile, printed feel. The softened geometry and lightly distressed edges aim to add personality and warmth while keeping letterforms simple and broadly legible.
The texture is most noticeable along vertical stems and outer curves, where edges appear gently irregular rather than geometrically perfect. The bold weight and compact interiors make it most comfortable at display sizes or in short bursts of text, where the organic details can be appreciated without crowding.
