A heavy, rounded, soft-cornered sans with a deliberately irregular, hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with subtly wobbly edges and occasional pinched joins that keep the rhythm lively. Counters tend toward squarish/rounded-rectangle shapes, and many glyphs show slightly uneven widths and sidebearings, creating a bouncy, non-mechanical texture in text. Terminals are blunt and padded rather than sharp, and the overall silhouette reads compact and chunky.
Best suited to display applications where personality is the goal: posters, headlines, packaging, event promos, and logo/wordmark concepts that want a friendly, wacky edge. It can also work for short bursts of UI labels or social graphics, but its irregular texture is most effective at larger sizes and tighter messaging.
The font conveys a playful, mischievous tone with a DIY, doodled energy. Its uneven geometry and squashed proportions evoke casual signage and cartoon titling, giving it a friendly, offbeat personality rather than a polished corporate feel.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-drawn or cut-paper lettering in a sturdy, high-impact form. By combining soft rectangular counters with intentionally uneven strokes and spacing, it aims to deliver strong readability while foregrounding an eccentric, playful voice.
Uppercase forms are simplified and blocky, while lowercase retains the same chunky construction with a single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ that reinforce the informal voice. Numerals follow the same softened, squared-off logic, staying highly legible while remaining characterful. In longer lines, the irregularity becomes part of the charm, producing a textured, animated color across the paragraph.
