A heavy, geometric sans with intentionally irregular construction and a buoyant baseline rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with rounded joins and soft corners that keep the color dense but not sharp. Many glyphs show subtle wobble, varying sidebearings, and slightly tilted or offset terminals, creating a cutout-like, handmade texture while maintaining clear counters and sturdy silhouettes. Uppercase forms are compact and blocky, while the lowercase stays simple and readable with single-storey shapes and wide, open bowls; figures are equally bold and simplified for strong presence.
This font suits display-led work where boldness and character are desirable: posters, playful branding, packaging, storefront or event signage, and children’s or entertainment-oriented graphics. It performs best in short headlines, labels, and punchy calls-to-action where its irregular rhythm reads as intentional texture.
The overall tone is upbeat and mischievous, like signage made from paper cutouts or a cartoon title card. Its uneven rhythm and chunky shapes feel informal and welcoming, emphasizing personality over typographic neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, friendly sans voice with a deliberately imperfect, handmade feel—combining solid geometric foundations with small irregularities to create a distinctive, playful presence.
The sample text shows lively spacing and noticeable per-letter irregularity that adds charm at display sizes, while the heavy weight keeps word shapes cohesive. The numerals and punctuation match the same simplified, rounded, slightly off-kilter construction, supporting a consistent, playful voice across mixed text.
