A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and softly blunted terminals. Letterforms are built from simple geometric masses, but the outlines are intentionally irregular, with rough, inked edges and small dents that create a worn print texture. Curves are full and open, counters are generous, and joins stay broad, giving the design a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette. Spacing feels slightly loose and organic, with subtle width and shape variation that reinforces the handmade rhythm.
Best suited to short, bold applications such as posters, event titles, packaging callouts, and social graphics where the rough edges can be appreciated. It also works well for kid-friendly or casual branding, labels, and sticker-style designs that benefit from a tactile, hand-printed feel.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, combining a friendly, cartoon-like softness with a gritty, distressed surface. It reads as approachable and fun rather than elegant, with a tactile, DIY energy that suggests rubber-stamp or rough-screened lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded construction while adding character through consistent distressing. Its goal is to mimic imperfect ink or worn printing to create a casual, handcrafted look that stands out in display typography.
The distressed treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, keeping texture visible without collapsing counters. Shapes remain highly legible at display sizes, where the rough perimeter and uneven ink spread become part of the personality.
