A heavy, rounded display face with soft, inflated strokes and an irregular, hand-rendered silhouette. Letterforms show noticeable texture and roughened interiors, like worn ink or dry-brush fill, with subtly uneven stroke edges and organic asymmetry. Counters are generally open but imperfect, and the overall rhythm feels bouncy due to small variations in width and contour from glyph to glyph. Numerals match the same chunky, softened construction and textured fill, maintaining a consistent handmade character across the set.
Well-suited for posters, bold headlines, and short energetic messaging where a lively handmade tone is desired. It can add character to packaging, labels, stickers, and social media graphics, especially for playful or crafty branding. Best used sparingly for emphasis rather than long-form reading.
The font reads as approachable and humorous, with a crafty, doodled energy and a hint of gritty imperfection. Its worn, inky texture adds personality and a casual, analog feel that suggests playful messiness rather than precision.
Designed to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with intentional imperfections that mimic worn printing or marker-filled lettering. The goal appears to be high-impact legibility paired with a tactile, handmade texture for expressive branding and themed graphics.
The texture and soft corners become a defining feature at larger sizes, while smaller sizes may show more visual noise as the interior distressing competes with counters. The face is most convincing when given room to breathe, where its uneven edges and printed wear can register clearly.
