A chunky sans with heavy, simplified letterforms and softly rounded corners. Strokes are mostly monolinear, but the outlines intentionally wobble and taper, creating a cut-paper, slightly off-kilter silhouette rather than strict geometry. Counters are small and rounded, terminals are blunt, and many glyphs lean or bulge subtly, producing an uneven, lively rhythm across words. The numerals match the same blocky construction, with compact shapes and punched-in counters that hold up at display sizes.
Well-suited for display typography such as posters, playful headlines, packaging, event flyers, and branded graphics where a hand-made feel is desired. It also fits children’s media, comics-style callouts, and short slogans where personality matters more than typographic neutrality.
The overall tone is upbeat and mischievous, like hand-made signage or cartoon titling. Its irregularity reads as friendly and energetic, with a casual, humorous vibe that keeps text from feeling formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a purposely imperfect, hand-cut look. By prioritizing chunky shapes and lively irregularity, it aims to feel fun, friendly, and attention-grabbing in short text settings.
The font’s texture comes from deliberate inconsistencies in width and curvature, which add character but can make long passages feel visually busy. It looks best when given breathing room (generous tracking/leading) and when set large enough for the tight counters to stay clear.
