A chunky, rounded display face with a hand-cut, slightly wobbly silhouette and softened terminals throughout. Strokes stay heavy and compact, while counters are frequently reduced or fully closed, creating a solid, cutout-like look in letters such as O, P, R, and e. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with irregular widths and subtly shifting stroke emphasis that adds a lively, handmade rhythm. The lowercase is simple and single-storey, with short ascenders/descenders and minimal interior detail, while figures are similarly simplified with closed bowls and friendly curves.
Works best for short display settings where its solid shapes and irregular rhythm can be a feature: posters, product packaging, stickers, playful branding, and children’s or hobby-oriented graphics. It can also function for large-size headings in editorial or social graphics, but extended text will feel dense due to the reduced interior openings.
The overall tone is playful and informal, with a crafty, cartoon-like friendliness that feels spontaneous rather than engineered. Its closed shapes and soft curves give it a bold, punchy voice that reads as whimsical and slightly mischievous, well suited to lighthearted messaging.
Likely designed to deliver an energetic, handcrafted display voice with maximum visual impact through solid forms and simplified interiors. The irregular widths and softened geometry suggest an intention to feel human, casual, and fun rather than strictly typographic or technical.
Because many counters are collapsed, the texture becomes very dark at text sizes; spacing and distinct silhouettes carry much of the differentiation between characters. The ampersand and punctuation follow the same rounded, simplified approach, reinforcing the cohesive, handmade display feel.
