A heavy, rounded display face with a deliberately uneven, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and compact, with softened corners and occasional angular nicks that give the outlines a chiseled, cut-paper feel. Counters are largely collapsed, producing dense letterforms with strong spot color and simplified interior structure. Widths and curves vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm and slightly bouncy baseline impression in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, logos, and playful branding. It works well on packaging, labels, and sticker-style graphics where strong silhouette and personality matter more than fine detail. Use larger sizes and generous spacing to preserve clarity, especially in longer phrases.
The overall tone is playful and attention-seeking, with a cartoon-like friendliness and a hint of retro novelty. Its chunky shapes and irregular edges feel informal and spirited, emphasizing personality over precision. The solid interiors add a bold, poster-ready punch that reads as fun, loud, and characterful.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold novelty voice through simplified, solid letterforms and an intentionally irregular outline. By collapsing counters and varying shapes, it prioritizes strong graphic presence and a handmade, cutout aesthetic for expressive display typography.
The alphabet mixes rounded bowls with occasional sharp joins, creating a distinctive tension between soft and edgy. In the sample text, word shapes remain recognizable, but the collapsed counters and tight apertures reduce readability at smaller sizes, pushing it toward headline use. Numerals match the same heavy, simplified construction and maintain the font’s energetic, handcrafted consistency.
