A lively, serifless display sans with subtly tapered strokes and wedge-like terminals that give many letters a flared, brush-cut finish. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, O, S, and numerals), while verticals often show slight swelling and narrowing that creates a hand-shaped rhythm. Uppercase forms read sturdy and open, with some distinctive construction choices (such as the angular join in K, the curled tail on Q, and a compact, looped G). The lowercase mixes straightforward bowls with more eccentric details: a single-storey a, a looped g with a pronounced ear, narrow i/j with square-ish dots, and a tall, bent-shoulder r. Numerals are bold and stylized, with a curled 2, a compact 3, and a decorative 4 that adds character without becoming script-like.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a playful, characterful sans can carry the message. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or subheads, especially when you want a retro, handcrafted feel without switching to a full script.
The overall tone is whimsical and personable, balancing boldness with a handmade, slightly mischievous charm. Its uneven, calligraphic energy suggests a vintage poster sensibility rather than a neutral corporate voice, making text feel friendly and animated.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, handcrafted display voice within a sans framework—prioritizing recognizable silhouettes and expressive terminals to stand out in branding and headline settings.
Spacing and silhouettes are visually assertive, with strong black shapes and distinctive entry/exit cuts that remain consistent across the set. The design maintains clarity at display sizes, while the quirky terminals and varying stroke flare become the primary personality carriers in longer passages.
