A heavy, chunky sans with soft corners and slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes stay broadly uniform, but edges and joins show subtle wobble, giving a lively, uneven rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are generally open and rounded, with compact apertures and a sturdy overall silhouette that holds up well at display sizes. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey forms and a straightforward, unornamented construction; figures are bold and rounded with clear, poster-like presence.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding moments that benefit from a bold, friendly voice. It works especially well for children’s content, playful event promos, and short punchy copy where the bouncy texture adds charm and immediacy.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, with a humorous, slightly mischievous bounce. Its irregularity reads as human and handmade rather than mechanical, lending warmth and personality to short phrases and titles.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an informal, handmade sensibility—combining a solid, high-ink footprint with intentionally imperfect contours to feel energetic and fun rather than strictly geometric.
The texture becomes notably animated in lines of text: letterforms appear to lean and sway subtly from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, cut-paper rhythm. This gives strong character but can feel busy in long paragraphs, where the uneven cadence draws attention to itself.
