A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and softened corners, drawn with visibly uneven edges that mimic ink spread or stamped letterforms. Strokes stay generally straight and blocky but wobble subtly, creating a rough perimeter and occasional nicks along verticals and horizontals. Curves are broad and circular, and the overall construction feels sturdy and simplified, with tight apertures on letters like a, e, s, and g. Width and sidebearings vary slightly from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, non-mechanical rhythm while maintaining clear, upright forms.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and bold callouts where texture is a feature, not noise. It can also work for branding applications that want a handmade or stamped aesthetic, and for apparel/merch graphics where the rugged edges reinforce a tactile feel.
The texture and irregular outlines give the font a handmade, gritty energy that reads as casual and bold rather than polished or corporate. It feels friendly and punchy, with a slightly mischievous, DIY tone—more poster ink and rubber stamp than digital precision.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with an intentionally imperfect, printed texture—capturing the look of inked, cut, or stamped lettering while keeping familiar sans structures for quick recognition. Its simplified geometry and rough perimeter prioritize personality and impact over refined typographic neutrality.
In the sample text the dense color and tight counters create a strong silhouette and high visual impact, while the rough edges add character at display sizes. At smaller sizes, the inked texture and compact interior spaces may reduce clarity, especially in letters with small apertures and in numeral forms with tight counters.
