A heavy, chunky sans with rounded geometry and simplified, almost cutout-like forms. Strokes show deliberate irregularity: uneven edges, scuffed counters, and inky interior texture that reads like rough printing or marker fill. Terminals are blunt and soft rather than sharp, and curves (O, C, G) keep a friendly roundness while verticals sometimes lean slightly in thickness from top to bottom. Spacing is moderately open for the weight, helping counters stay readable despite the distressed texture.
Works best in short to medium text settings where texture is a feature—posters, packaging, event flyers, and social graphics. It can also suit playful branding and children’s or hobby-oriented materials, especially at display sizes where the rough interior detail remains clear.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, with a DIY, slightly messy energy that feels informal and hand-made. The roughened fill and wobble in the outlines add a lived-in, gritty charm while staying lighthearted rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with an intentionally imperfect, worn-ink finish. It aims to combine simple, rounded letterforms with a consistent distressed texture for characterful headlines and informal messaging.
The distressed treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving paragraphs a lively, speckled color on the page. Numerals are bold and rounded, with the same scuffed interiors, making them visually compatible with headline use.
