A chunky, rounded sans with monolinear strokes and softened terminals, drawn with a deliberately irregular, ink-pressed texture. Counters are open and generous, and the forms lean on simple geometry—circular bowls, blunt arms, and compact joins—while allowing small wobble and edge break-up throughout. Caps are broad and steady, lowercase is tidy and readable, and figures are similarly rounded with slightly uneven curves that keep the rhythm informal and hand-made.
Works best for display applications where a friendly, tactile look is desirable—posters, product packaging, labels, stickers, and social graphics. It can also serve for short paragraphs or pull quotes at larger sizes when the distressed texture is meant to be visible and contribute to the voice.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, like marker lettering that’s been stamped or screen-printed and picked up a bit of wear. Its roughened edges add a lightly grungy, analog character without sacrificing friendliness, making it feel informal, crafty, and retro-leaning.
Likely designed to mimic casual hand lettering with a worn print finish, combining rounded, readable forms with a consistent distressed texture for instant personality. The goal appears to be an approachable display face that feels crafted and analog rather than polished and sterile.
Texture appears both on outer outlines and inside strokes, suggesting worn printing or distressed fill rather than clean vector edges. Spacing reads comfortable in text, and the set maintains consistent weight and softness even where shapes narrow (notably in diagonals and joins).
