A heavy, rounded sans with soft terminals and a deliberately irregular, inked-in finish. Strokes show noticeable wobble and occasional thickened spots, giving the outlines a slightly blotchy, hand-pressed look rather than clean geometry. Counters are compact and rounded, and many joins feel cushioned, producing a bouncy rhythm across words. Uppercase forms are simple and sturdy, while lowercase adds character through asymmetric curves and subtly inconsistent stem widths; figures are similarly chunky with simplified, open shapes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, packaging, social graphics, merch, stickers, and punchy headlines where the inky irregularity can be appreciated. It can also work for playful branding, event titles, and thematic projects that benefit from a handmade or lightly distressed voice. For long passages or small UI sizes, its heavy weight and textured outlines may feel dense.
The overall tone is casual and approachable, with a mischievous, craft-like energy. Its imperfect edges and inky texture suggest something made by hand—more zine, poster, or stamp than corporate signage. The result feels nostalgic and fun, with a lightly “worn” personality that reads as intentional rather than accidental.
The design appears intended to combine a rounded, friendly skeleton with a purposely imperfect printed/handmade surface. By keeping letterforms simple and upright while introducing irregular edges and uneven stroke emphasis, it aims to deliver strong readability at display sizes with a distinctive, characterful texture.
Spacing appears comfortable for display use, and the texture becomes more apparent as sizes increase, where the uneven edge behavior reads as a key stylistic feature. The rounded build keeps the dark weight from feeling harsh, but the irregularities can reduce crispness in very small text compared to cleaner grotesques.
