A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and a deliberately irregular, hand-cut construction. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, but terminals and joins show subtle wobble and unevenness that creates an animated rhythm across words. Several glyphs lean or bulge slightly, and counters are compact and rounded, giving the set a punchy, top-heavy silhouette. Spacing feels lively rather than strictly uniform, reinforcing the informal, cut-paper look in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short display copy where personality is the priority—posters, playful branding, packaging, social graphics, and bold headings. It performs especially well when set large, where the irregular contours and chunky counters remain clear and contribute to a handcrafted, cheerful presence.
The overall tone is upbeat and humorous, with a friendly, comic energy that reads as approachable and slightly mischievous. Its wobble and chunky shapes evoke handmade signage and playful children’s-media typography rather than precision or formality.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, handmade sans voice—bold and highly legible at a glance, but with enough wobble and asymmetry to feel casual and fun. It prioritizes warmth and character over strict geometric regularity, aiming for an inviting display look.
The alphabet shows consistent softness and rounded apertures, while the intentional inconsistencies (tilt, edge wobble, and variable glyph widths) add character at display sizes. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded style, keeping a cohesive voice for headlines and short emphatic lines.
