A chunky, rounded sans with an intentionally uneven, hand-cut feel. Strokes are heavy and fairly consistent in thickness, with softly blunted corners and subtly wavy outlines that create a lively rhythm. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes, and many joins look slightly pinched or asymmetrical, reinforcing an organic, made-by-hand character. Proportions are generally compact with broad forms, and letter widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving text a bouncy, informal texture.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, playful branding, packaging, event titles, and short headlines where a handmade voice is desired. It also works well for children’s or casual editorial accents, labels, and social graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded-rectangle counters and lively contours are clearly visible.
The font reads as playful and approachable, with a DIY, marker-or-cut-paper energy. Its irregularities feel deliberate and expressive rather than distressed, lending a lighthearted, cartoon-friendly tone that suits fun and informal messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a friendly, handcrafted sans that maintains bold legibility while avoiding rigid geometry. By combining rounded-rectangle structures with controlled irregularity, it aims to feel informal and expressive without sacrificing clarity in short bursts of text.
Caps are simplified and blocky with generous interior space, while lowercase keeps a single-storey, approachable construction across common forms. Numerals match the same soft, slightly wonky geometry, staying highly graphic and display-oriented. Spacing appears open enough for short text, but the strong shapes and uneven edges make it most effective when allowed to breathe.
