A chunky, hand-cut sans with a right-leaning posture and softly rounded corners. Strokes stay largely monolinear but show subtle, organic wobble, with terminals that feel trimmed rather than mechanically squared. Counters are compact and slightly irregular, and the overall construction varies in width from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, uneven rhythm. The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy forms with a single-storey feel where applicable, and the numerals share the same blocky, cut-paper character.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and brand marks where a friendly, handmade tone is desired. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes, labels) when you want a strong, textured voice; for longer reading, it benefits from generous size and spacing.
The font reads warm and informal, with a playful, slightly mischievous personality. Its uneven geometry and bouncy spacing evoke handmade signage and mid-century display lettering, favoring charm and character over precision.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-rendered, cut-letter signage with a consistent slant and chunky silhouettes. Its irregular widths and softly trimmed corners prioritize personality and visual impact, aiming for an approachable, retro-leaning display presence rather than a strict geometric system.
In text, the tight apertures and dense black shapes create strong texture and high presence; the slant adds motion and emphasis. The most distinctive cue is the consistent “carved” edge quality—small kinks and angled cuts that repeat across letters and figures, helping the set feel cohesive despite its intentional irregularity.
