A heavy, chunky sans with softly rounded corners and an intentionally irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal contrast, but the outlines wobble subtly and terminals often flare or pinch, creating a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters are generally tight and rounded, with compact apertures that emphasize mass and impact. Uppercase forms are sturdy and blocky, while lowercase introduces more asymmetry and bounce; numerals follow the same bulbous, slightly uneven construction for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, playful packaging, event flyers, and children’s or comic-adjacent branding. It can also work for logos and badges where a friendly, handmade display voice is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and humorous, evoking cartoon titling, craft-cut lettering, and mid-century novelty display styles. Its uneven edges and springy proportions feel informal and approachable, leaning toward fun rather than precision or restraint.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a bold, approachable display presence with a deliberately imperfect, cut-paper/hand-drawn feel. The aim seems to be strong legibility at large sizes while adding personality through uneven contours and bouncy proportions.
At text sizes the dense fill and compact counters create a dark, poster-like color, while the irregular edges and shifting widths become a defining texture. The design reads best when given breathing room, as the energetic silhouettes and tight interior spaces can visually clump in longer passages.
