A heavy, hand-rendered sans with compact proportions and softly squared, rounded-shoulder forms. Strokes have an inked, brush-like edge with subtle wobble and occasional taper, producing slightly uneven contours and a lively texture. Curves are full and somewhat flattened, counters are generous for the weight, and joins are simplified rather than crisply geometric. Spacing and widths vary noticeably between letters, reinforcing an informal, handmade rhythm while keeping overall legibility strong in short lines and display sizes.
Well suited to posters, packaging, and bold headlines where a handmade tone is desirable. It also works for short editorial display, event graphics, and youthful branding where texture and personality are more important than strict uniformity. For long body text, the strong texture and weight may feel dense, so it’s best used in larger sizes and shorter runs.
The font feels approachable and energetic, with a DIY, screen-printed character that suggests motion and human touch. Its roughened edges and bouncy rhythm read as playful and slightly gritty rather than polished or corporate.
Likely intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice that mimics hand-painted or brush-ink lettering while staying within a simple sans structure. The design prioritizes personality, texture, and quick visual impact over geometric precision.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase keeps single-storey, simplified shapes that maintain the same inked texture. Numerals are similarly chunky and irregular, matching the letterforms for cohesive headline use.
