A heavy, rounded sans with an intentionally uneven, hand-cut texture. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, but edges are softly faceted and slightly wobbly, creating a cut-paper or brush-stamped feel. Counters are compact and somewhat irregular, with generous inking that keeps interior spaces tight at smaller sizes. Proportions are lively: caps are sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase shows a tall, prominent x-height and simple, open construction with minimal detailing. Overall rhythm is bouncy and organic rather than mechanically uniform, with small variations in widths and curve geometry that read as purposeful.
Best suited for display use where texture and personality are assets: posters, packaging, playful branding, event graphics, and children’s or educational materials. It can work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or social graphics, but the heavy fill and compact counters are most comfortable at larger sizes or with generous spacing.
The font conveys a casual, upbeat tone with a crafty, DIY personality. Its chunky forms and softened corners feel approachable and humorous, leaning toward comic, kid-friendly, and informal branding energy rather than corporate neutrality. The irregularities add warmth and motion, suggesting hand lettering and analog printing.
Likely designed to mimic bold hand lettering with a cut-out or stamped impression, prioritizing friendliness and visual impact over strict geometric precision. The goal appears to be an expressive, approachable sans that feels handcrafted while remaining highly legible in display settings.
In the sample text, the dense weight and tight counters create strong color and high impact, especially in short lines and headlines. The slightly uneven silhouettes are consistent across letters and numerals, supporting a cohesive handmade look without becoming chaotic.
