A heavy, compact sans with rounded bowls and stout stems, drawn with an intentionally irregular, inked edge. Counters are generally generous and open for the weight, while joins and terminals show slight wobble and chiseled-looking flats that create a lively, printed texture. The overall rhythm is bold and steady, with subtle width variation and uneven contouring that reads as handcrafted rather than mechanically perfect.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, badges, labels, and packaging where its bold color and textured edges can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text (captions, pull quotes) when set with ample size and spacing, but the rough contouring may feel busy in dense body copy.
The font projects a warm, folksy energy with a bold, approachable voice. Its roughened outlines and sturdy shapes evoke hand-printed posters and vintage packaging, giving text a friendly, slightly mischievous character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a handcrafted, print-like finish—combining simple, rounded sans construction with roughened outlines to add personality and a tactile, analog feel.
In longer lines, the uneven edge texture becomes a defining feature, adding visual noise that can feel energetic at display sizes. Round letters (like O/C) stay broadly circular, while straight-sided forms (like E/H/N) keep strong verticals, maintaining clarity despite the distressed contour.
