A heavy, rounded sans with visibly irregular outlines and a slightly wobbly, hand-cut edge. Strokes stay broadly even but show organic swelling and subtle dents that create a textured silhouette rather than crisp geometry. Counters are generous and mostly rounded, with blunt terminals and softened corners throughout. Proportions lean broad and open, and spacing feels roomy, giving the letters a strong, poster-like presence while maintaining clear word shapes.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headings, packaging, labels, stickers, and playful branding where a bold, friendly voice is desired. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes in larger sizes, especially in contexts that benefit from a handmade, informal aesthetic.
The overall tone is casual and upbeat, with a homemade, slightly messy charm that reads as approachable rather than formal. Its bouncy irregularity adds personality and a crafty, tactile feel, suggesting informality, humor, and friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display sans with handcrafted character—prioritizing personality and impact over precision. Its softened geometry and consistent rough edge aim to add warmth and spontaneity while keeping letterforms simple and readable.
Capitals and lowercase share a consistent chunky construction, with single-storey forms in the lowercase and simple, sturdy numerals. The texture is uniform across the set, so the roughness feels intentional and cohesive rather than distressed in isolated spots. At smaller sizes the edge detail may visually merge, so it benefits from ample size and clean contrast.
