A heavy, chunky sans with soft curves and subtly irregular construction that gives each letter a hand-cut feel. Strokes are generally monolinear, with rounded corners and gently bulging bowls, while terminals often look slightly angled or uneven rather than mechanically squared. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; counters are compact but remain open enough for short text, and the overall silhouette reads as a dense, graphic block. The numerals match the letters’ stout, playful massing, with simple, high-impact forms.
Well suited to posters, headlines, and short phrases where a loud, playful voice is desirable. It fits children’s media, party/event graphics, packaging accents, and merchandise such as stickers or T-shirts. Use generous tracking and avoid very small sizes to keep the counters and quirky details from crowding.
The font projects a humorous, informal tone—more whimsical than sporty—like cut-paper lettering or a cartoon title card. Its unevenness and bouncy shapes feel approachable and kid-friendly, turning even neutral copy into something upbeat and characterful.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that prioritizes personality and impact over strict geometric consistency. Its irregular, hand-made rhythm suggests it was drawn to feel spontaneous and fun while still reading clearly in bold, high-contrast applications.
The sample text shows the design holding together best at larger sizes, where the irregular edges and shifting widths read as intentional personality rather than noise. The strong black shapes and compact counters create high visual presence and quick recognition in display settings.
