A heavy, blocky sans with softly rounded corners and subtly irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes stay largely uniform, with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt or slightly beveled. Many letters show gentle swelling and inward scoops, creating a wavy silhouette and a slightly uneven rhythm across the line. Counters are compact and angular-rounded, and the overall spacing feels roomy, emphasizing the font’s broad, poster-like presence.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, stickers, and logo wordmarks where a bold, playful personality is desired. It also works well for short bursts of text in children’s materials, event graphics, and casual signage, especially at larger sizes where the sculpted contours can be appreciated.
The tone is energetic and mischievous, with a homemade, cartoon-sign feel that reads as friendly rather than strict. Its uneven edges and buoyant shapes evoke retro novelty display lettering and playful branding, leaning into character over precision.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable, novelty sans for eye-catching display typography, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a handcrafted, bouncy rhythm. Its consistent weight and softened corners suggest a goal of maintaining impact while keeping the tone friendly and informal.
Uppercase forms are squat and sturdy, while lowercase maintains the same chunky construction with single-storey shapes where applicable and a distinctly notched, cut-paper look. Numerals match the bold, rounded geometry and keep strong, simple silhouettes for quick recognition. The sample text shows strong color on the page and a lively texture, but the irregularities make it feel intentionally informal rather than neutral.
