A chunky, rounded sans with soft corners and an intentionally uneven, hand-drawn construction. Strokes are heavy and somewhat blobby, with subtly wavering outlines and speckled interior texture that suggests rough inking or worn printing. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating an irregular rhythm; counters are generally open and generous, helping letters stay recognizable despite the distressed surface. Numerals and capitals carry the same relaxed, slightly lopsided geometry, with a friendly, cartoon-like massing and no sharp terminals.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, and headline treatments where a handmade, textured voice is desirable. It can also suit playful branding, craft-oriented products, and youth-focused or whimsical themes, especially at display sizes where the texture can be appreciated.
The overall tone is playful and informal, with a crafty, homemade character and a lightly messy edge. Its distressed texture reads as analog and tactile, adding a casual, approachable energy that feels spirited rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to mimic a bold, marker-like hand with a deliberately worn or imperfect print texture, prioritizing personality and tactile charm over strict typographic regularity.
The distressed details are most noticeable in larger sizes, where the speckling and roughened fill become a defining feature. At smaller sizes, the heavy weight and irregular rhythm can make long passages feel busy, but short phrases remain punchy and distinctive.
