A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and compact counters, drawn with an intentionally uneven, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes stay largely monolinear, but terminals and joins wobble subtly, creating a buoyant baseline and slightly inconsistent widths across letters. Uppercase forms are simplified and blocky, while lowercase has single-storey constructions (notably a and g) and a stout, vertical i with a round dot. Numerals follow the same chunky, slightly tilted-cut silhouette, with wide proportions and a bold, poster-like presence.
Best suited to display sizes in headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a friendly, quirky voice. It also fits children’s or entertainment-oriented design, event graphics, and short promotional copy where bold shapes and an expressive rhythm are an advantage.
The tone is energetic and informal, with a cartoonish, cut-paper character that feels approachable and a little mischievous. Its irregularities read as deliberate and expressive, lending a lively, handmade personality rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch while preserving a handmade, irregular charm. It aims for an approachable display sans that feels lively and distinctive in short bursts of text, especially in bold, character-driven branding contexts.
The texture becomes more apparent in longer lines, where small angular nicks and gentle leaning cuts give words a rolling, animated cadence. The design prioritizes impact and character over strict uniformity, making it best where the letterforms can be large enough to show the playful contours.
