A chunky sans with softly rounded corners and subtly uneven strokes that create a hand-cut, slightly wobbly texture. The forms are compact and tall-leaning, with simplified geometry and mild asymmetries that keep the rhythm lively rather than mechanical. Curves tend toward broad, open bowls, while joins and terminals look blunt and gently tapered, producing a consistent, poster-like silhouette across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where personality is an asset: posters, playful branding, packaging, event promos, and kid-oriented or lighthearted editorial headlines. It can work for short bursts of copy (pull quotes, subheads, menus) when set with comfortable spacing, but it’s most effective when allowed to read as a bold graphic voice.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a humorous, approachable feel. Its irregularities read as intentionally handmade, giving it a casual, characterful presence that feels more expressive than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to provide a friendly, handcrafted sans alternative with a lively, imperfect rhythm—balancing clear letterforms with a deliberately quirky, cut-paper sensibility for attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase shapes are sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase maintains clear, single-storey, friendly forms that stay readable despite the playful wobble. Numerals match the same chunky construction and remain distinct at display sizes, reinforcing a cohesive, cutout-style texture in running text.
