A compact, heavy sans with rounded corners and subtly irregular geometry that gives each letter a cut-paper, hand-shaped feel. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with occasional wedge-like terminals and slight tapering that adds motion without becoming calligraphic. Counters are generally small and oval, and the overall rhythm is intentionally uneven, with gentle left-right wobble and varying widths across glyphs. Numerals and capitals match the same chunky, simplified construction for a consistent, poster-ready texture.
Well suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, event headlines, playful branding, packaging, and merch graphics. It also fits children’s or novelty-oriented design where a friendly, informal voice is desired, and it can work for signage or labels when set large.
The tone is upbeat and mischievous, leaning toward a retro, cartoon-display voice rather than a neutral workhorse. Its deliberate wonkiness feels friendly and informal, suggesting fun, handmade energy and a bit of theatrical flair.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that trades strict geometric consistency for charm and immediacy. Its chunky forms and intentionally uneven rhythm are aimed at creating an approachable, attention-grabbing look that feels handmade and fun.
In longer lines the dense color and uneven spacing create a lively, animated texture; it will read best with generous tracking and line spacing. The design favors impact and personality over precise regularity, especially in tight settings or small sizes where counters may close up.
