A heavy, rounded sans with monoline strokes and softly squared terminals. Many glyphs show subtle irregularities and slight tilts, creating an intentionally uneven baseline rhythm and a hand-cut, cut-paper feel despite the consistent stroke weight. Counters are generally open and circular/oval, with compact joins and simplified construction that favors bold silhouettes over delicate detail. Overall proportions lean slightly wide in round letters, while diagonals and joins feel sturdy and blunt rather than sharp.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, posters, and packaging where a bold, playful voice is needed. It can work well for branding in casual or youth-oriented contexts, as well as logos, signage, and social graphics where the irregular rhythm adds personality.
The font conveys a warm, humorous tone with a lively, slightly mischievous bounce. Its irregularities read as informal and approachable, suggesting a crafted, handmade personality rather than a strictly geometric or corporate voice.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that balances clear letterforms with deliberate wobble and softened geometry. It prioritizes approachability and visual punch, aiming for a handmade, fun aesthetic that stands out in short text settings.
The set maintains strong, high-contrast silhouettes at display sizes, with noticeable character in rounded forms like O/Q and a distinctive, jaunty energy in diagonals (V/W/X/Y). Numerals follow the same soft, chunky construction and feel especially poster-friendly.
