A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and visibly irregular outlines that mimic ink spread or dry-brush edges. Counters are generally open and simple, with soft corners and slightly flattened curves that keep forms sturdy at display sizes. Stroke endings are blunt and uneven rather than mechanically cut, and the rhythm feels intentionally roughened, giving letters a subtly varied texture from glyph to glyph. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded construction, with strong silhouettes and simplified interior shapes.
Well suited to headlines, short bursts of copy, and branding moments that need a bold, tactile presence—such as posters, signage, packaging, labels, and social graphics. It can also work for logotypes and merch applications where a handcrafted, inked texture supports the message.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, with a handmade, slightly gritty character that feels bold and approachable. Its rough edge adds a poster-like immediacy, suggesting craft, street-level authenticity, and a retro print texture rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded skeleton while introducing deliberate roughness to evoke hand-printed or brush-painted lettering. It prioritizes recognizable silhouettes and a textured finish for expressive display typography.
Tight, solid shapes and thick joins create strong impact, while the irregular perimeter adds visual noise that becomes part of the personality. The font reads best when given room to breathe—larger sizes and moderate tracking help the textured edges stay clear.
