A heavy, compact sans with hand-made irregularity and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly blunt with softly rounded corners. Many verticals and bowls show slight waviness and asymmetry, giving the letters a cut-out or stamped feel. Counters are small and sometimes pinched, and widths vary noticeably across the set, producing a bouncy, informal texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event promos, packaging, and bold signage where personality is a priority. It also fits playful branding and youth-oriented or craft-themed applications, especially at medium to large sizes where the irregular contours can be appreciated.
The overall tone is upbeat and mischievous, with a crafted, lo-fi personality that feels more human than mechanical. Its chunky shapes and quirky spacing read as approachable and humorous, leaning toward casual display rather than sober editorial typography.
The design appears intended to simulate a hand-cut, rubber-stamp, or brush-block aesthetic within a sans framework, prioritizing character and immediacy over neutrality. Its compact proportions and chunky massing aim to deliver strong visual impact and a distinctive, informal voice.
The uppercase appears more condensed and monolithic, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes (notably in curves and joins), increasing the playful contrast between cases. Numerals match the same blocky construction, with simplified forms and tight interior spaces that reinforce the bold, punchy presence.
