A chunky, rounded sans with softly bulging strokes and gently uneven contours that mimic ink spread or worn printing. Terminals are mostly blunt and curved, with subtle wobble and occasional nicks that create a lightly mottled texture. The uppercase is compact and monoline in feel, while the lowercase keeps simple, single-storey forms and open counters; overall spacing is slightly loose and the rhythm is intentionally irregular without becoming chaotic.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where texture and personality are desirable: posters, invitations, product packaging, café or boutique branding, and kid-friendly materials. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts when you want an informal, tactile voice.
The font reads warm, casual, and a little mischievous—like hand-stamped lettering or a well-used marker. Its imperfections add personality and approachability, giving text an easygoing, craft-forward tone with a hint of vintage print charm.
Likely designed to deliver a hand-printed look that feels approachable and human, using controlled roughness and rounded geometry to avoid harshness. The goal appears to be easy readability at display sizes while adding a distinctive, worn-ink character for thematic branding.
In the sample text, the distressed edges stay consistent across sizes, creating a cohesive “printed” grain rather than random damage. Round letters (O, Q, 8, 9) lean particularly soft and ballooned, and diagonals (V, W, X) keep a sturdy, friendly bluntness rather than sharp points.
