A heavy, compact sans with rounded corners and slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and many joins and terminals end in softened, blunted shapes rather than crisp cuts. The letterforms show intentional wobble and subtle asymmetry, giving the set a lively rhythm, while counters are generally small and sturdy for a dense, poster-like texture. Numerals match the same chunky construction and maintain consistent weight and presence beside the capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, titles, and packaging where its bold color and playful irregularity can shine. It also fits labels, stickers, event graphics, and youth-oriented or casual branding that benefits from a friendly, handmade voice.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a mischievous, toy-like energy. Its uneven baseline feel and softened shapes read as approachable and humorous rather than strict or corporate, leaning toward a vintage cartoon or handmade sign aesthetic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a personable, hand-shaped character, combining sturdy, simplified construction with deliberate irregularities to create motion and charm in display typography.
In text, the font forms a dark, energetic block with noticeable bounce, so spacing and line breaks have a strong impact on readability. The distinctive shapes of key letters (like the angular bends and rounded bowls) help recognition at display sizes, while the dense color can feel busy in long passages.
