A chunky, heavy display face with irregular, hand-cut geometry and a lively baseline. Strokes are broad and largely monoline, but edges wobble and terminals often end in blunt wedges or soft, rounded corners, creating a cut-paper silhouette. Many bowls and counters are reduced or fully closed, yielding a solid, poster-like texture and strong figure/ground impact. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with slightly tilted stems and uneven widths that amplify the informal rhythm in words and lines.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, packaging callouts, event flyers, kids’ materials, comic-style titles, and playful branding. It is most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the irregular contours and solid forms can be appreciated without sacrificing legibility.
The font reads as playful and mischievous, with a comic, kids’ craft sensibility. Its lumpy silhouettes and closed apertures add a bold, punchy feel that suggests fun, noise, and movement rather than refinement. Overall tone is friendly and quirky, leaning toward whimsical display use.
Designed to deliver maximum visual presence with a handmade, irregular character, prioritizing personality and bold silhouette over conventional readability details like open counters. The overall intent appears to be a fun, attention-grabbing display face that feels crafted and slightly chaotic in a controlled way.
Spacing and color are dense, and the closed counters make small sizes prone to filling in, while large sizes emphasize the charming irregularities. The numerals and uppercase share the same chunky, cutout logic, helping headings feel consistent and intentionally imperfect.
