A heavy, chunky sans with soft, rounded silhouettes and intentionally uneven geometry. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, while stems and bowls subtly wobble and tilt, creating a hand-cut, cut-paper feel rather than a rigid constructed rhythm. Counters are compact and often teardrop-like, with terminals that flare or bluntly taper; diagonals and joins show lively angular nicks that add character. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, contributing to a buoyant, slightly off-kilter texture in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact display use such as posters, event headlines, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It also works well for children’s materials, comics-inspired graphics, and anything needing a friendly, attention-grabbing typographic voice. For longer paragraphs, its strong texture is likely to feel heavy, so it’s most effective in bursts.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a cartoon-like friendliness and a vintage novelty-sign vibe. Its irregularities read as intentional and energetic, giving text a casual, humorous voice rather than a neutral one.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, approachable display personality through deliberate irregularity and rounded, sculptural forms—prioritizing charm and immediacy over strict typographic refinement.
The design favors bold silhouettes over fine internal detail, so letterforms remain recognizable at display sizes while becoming visually dense in longer setting. The numerals match the same bouncy, sculpted style, keeping a consistent presence across mixed copy.
