A heavy, rounded sans with broad strokes and soft corners, rendered with intentionally irregular contours. Curves and straights show a hand-cut wobble, with subtly varied widths and asymmetric details that keep the rhythm lively rather than mechanical. Counters are compact but clear, and the overall silhouette stays sturdy at display sizes. The numerals appear more delicate and calligraphic than the letters, creating a noticeable stylistic contrast within the set.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, playful branding, packaging, and short headlines where a strong, friendly voice is needed. It also works well for children’s or entertainment-oriented materials and bold pull quotes, while extended reading or data-rich compositions may be less comfortable due to the intentionally irregular outlines and the contrasting numeral style.
The font projects a cheerful, informal tone with a slightly mischievous, cartoon-like energy. Its uneven edges and bouncy spacing feel human and approachable, suited to lighthearted messaging rather than strict corporate polish. The contrast between bold letters and more refined numerals adds a quirky, eclectic personality.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, approachable sans with a handmade, cut-paper character—prioritizing personality and impact over geometric precision. It aims to feel fun and contemporary, with enough irregularity to read as crafted rather than strictly digital.
In text settings, the chunky forms hold together as a cohesive dark texture with strong presence, while the irregularities prevent the lines from feeling rigid. The more ornate figures may draw attention when mixed with the letters, especially in number-heavy layouts, which can be used as a deliberate accent or may require careful pairing.
