A chunky, rounded sans with heavy strokes and slightly irregular contours. Terminals are blunt and softly curved, with subtle wobble and roughened edges that give the outlines a hand-printed feel. Counters are generally open and generously sized for the weight, while bowls and curves lean toward circular geometry. Spacing and widths feel lively and uneven in a controlled way, contributing to an informal rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are assets, such as posters, product packaging, logos, café or market signage, and editorial headlines. It can work for brief text blocks at comfortable sizes, especially when an informal, hand-inked feel is desired.
The overall tone is warm and casual, with a crafty, handmade character that reads as playful rather than formal. The slightly distressed, imperfect edges add a tactile, analog vibe—more poster and packaging than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver bold, approachable communication with a handcrafted edge—combining rounded, geometric foundations with purposeful irregularity to avoid a sterile, purely digital feel.
Uppercase forms stay simple and sturdy, with rounded shoulders and minimal detailing, while lowercase maintains clear, single-storey shapes where expected and a compact, friendly texture in running text. Numerals match the same chunky construction, prioritizing impact and personality over neutrality.
