A heavy, monoline sans with soft, rounded terminals and intentionally irregular geometry. Stems and bowls keep a consistent stroke thickness, but edges are subtly wobbly and corners are frequently blunted, creating a hand-cut, organic silhouette. Counters are generally open and simple, with compact joins and a slightly uneven rhythm that gives lines of text a lively, bouncing texture. Capitals feel broad and blocky while lowercase forms stay straightforward and readable, with single-storey constructions where expected and a sturdy, graphic presence throughout.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, packaging, labels, and brand marks where a friendly, handmade voice is desired. It performs well for short headlines, callouts, and playful editorial accents, and can also work for children’s or hobby-oriented materials thanks to its approachable shapes and strong weight.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, suggesting handmade signage and playful display typography. Its gentle irregularity reads as friendly rather than distressed, adding character without becoming chaotic. The result feels approachable, quirky, and distinctly non-corporate.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, characterful sans that feels handcrafted while staying easy to read. The consistent stroke weight and simplified forms prioritize clarity, while the deliberate irregularities inject warmth and personality for expressive display use.
The font’s personality comes from small deviations in curvature and alignment rather than from contrast or ornament, so it keeps a clean silhouette at a distance while revealing its handmade flavor up close. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction, supporting consistent use in headlines that mix text and numbers.
