A heavy, compact sans with softly rounded corners and a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with rounded terminals and occasional wedge-like joins that give letters a carved or stamped feel. Counters are small but generally open enough to keep forms recognizable, while curves (C, S, O) stay smooth and full. The overall texture is dense and energetic, with noticeable personality in the shapes of diagonals and bowls rather than strict geometric consistency.
Best suited for display contexts such as headlines, posters, covers, and punchy UI or in-app callouts where a bold voice is needed. It can work well for packaging, stickers, kids or entertainment branding, and signage that benefits from strong, friendly shapes. Use with ample spacing for longer lines of copy to preserve clarity.
The font reads as playful and upbeat, with a casual, slightly mischievous tone. Its chunky silhouettes and subtle unevenness evoke retro signage, cartoons, and display lettering made for attention rather than neutrality. It feels friendly and informal, lending warmth and humor to short messages.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a personable, handmade-leaning character—combining sturdy, monoline construction with rounded corners and quirky details for a distinctive display voice.
The numerals match the bold, rounded construction and maintain strong presence at display sizes. In running text, the heavy color and tight internal spaces can make longer passages feel dense, so it benefits from generous tracking and leading when set in paragraphs.
