A heavy, soft-cornered sans with a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, and many terminals are blunted or subtly rounded rather than crisply squared. The proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; curves are generous and bowls are compact, while joins and diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X) show playful kinks and non-mechanical geometry. Counters are small and often asymmetrical, contributing to a dense, bold texture in text.
Best suited to display applications where bold shapes and personality matter more than fine detail—posters, headlines, event graphics, playful packaging, and kid-oriented branding. It can work for short bursts of text (tags, captions, social graphics), but its compact counters and irregular rhythm make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and humorous, with a casual, approachable personality that reads as kid-friendly and informal. Its unevenness and chunky massing give it a handmade, cartoon-like energy that feels expressive rather than technical.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-impact, friendly sans with a handmade, cut-paper character. By combining thick strokes, soft corners, and intentionally uneven proportions, it prioritizes warmth and spontaneity while remaining immediately legible in large, attention-grabbing settings.
Capitals are broad and assertive, while lowercase forms stay sturdy and simple, keeping a consistent “cutout” silhouette across the set. Numerals are similarly blocky and friendly, with rounded interiors that maintain strong color at display sizes.
