A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and softly squared terminals. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, but with subtle, hand-cut irregularities that create slightly wavy edges and uneven joins. Counters are generous for the weight, and curves lean toward blobby, circular construction rather than crisp geometry. The overall rhythm feels lively and slightly uneven, with small width differences between glyphs that add a natural, handmade texture in words and lines of text.
Works best for short, high-impact settings like posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and brand marks that want a friendly handmade voice. It can also suit playful editorial accents and social graphics where a dense, inky texture is a feature rather than a drawback.
The font reads warm and informal, with a cheerful, slightly retro sign-painting energy. Its chunky shapes and softened corners give it an approachable, kid-friendly tone, while the roughened edges add a crafty, DIY character that feels more human than polished.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, approachable sans with a deliberately imperfect, hand-rendered finish. The rounded construction and softened terminals aim for warmth and readability at display sizes, while the subtle irregularity adds personality and a tactile, printed feel.
Uppercase forms are broad and sturdy, while the lowercase maintains clear, simple silhouettes with minimal detailing. Numerals are bold and attention-grabbing, matching the same rounded, inked-in feel. In longer samples the dark color is strong, so spacing and size will be important to preserve clarity.
