A heavy, compact sans with softly rounded corners and an intentionally irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes stay broadly uniform while edges and terminals wobble slightly, creating a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are generally tight and rounded, with simple geometric construction that’s been subtly skewed and nudged for a handmade feel. The lowercase is compact with small interior spaces, and overall spacing reads snug, helping the font hold together as dense black shapes on the line.
Best suited for short display copy where personality is the priority—posters, headlines, playful branding, packaging, and kid-focused materials. It also works well for punchy callouts, labels, and social graphics where a bold, informal voice helps the message feel approachable.
The tone is lighthearted and mischievous, like cut-paper lettering or cartoon title cards. Its bounce and irregularity make it feel casual and human rather than engineered, projecting a friendly, humorous energy that suits expressive display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver an energetic, handmade look within a simple sans framework, prioritizing bold presence and charm over strict regularity. Its softened geometry and deliberate irregularities suggest a goal of creating friendly, characterful display lettering that reads quickly at headline sizes.
In the sample text, the strong weight and tight counters create a high-ink, poster-like texture; letterforms remain legible at larger sizes but can visually fill in when set small or tightly tracked. The numerals match the same chunky, playful construction, supporting consistent headline styling across text and figures.
