A heavy, compact sans with deliberately irregular contours and a slightly wavy baseline rhythm. Strokes are broadly even with minimal contrast, and terminals often look sheared or chiseled, giving a cut-paper feel. Bowls and counters are generous for the weight, while joins and inner corners stay blunt and rounded, preserving legibility in dense black shapes. Overall proportions are tight and tall, with small openings and short extenders that keep text blocks compact and energetic.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, labels, and playful brand marks where its chunky texture can be a feature. It also works well for children’s or entertainment-oriented graphics and informal signage. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help the lively edges remain readable.
The letterforms read as lively and mischievous, with a casual, handmade voice rather than a polished geometric tone. The uneven edges and subtle wobble add warmth and humor, evoking craft signage, cartoons, and playful packaging. Its confident darkness makes it feel bold and attention-seeking without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a handcrafted, cutout-like texture. It prioritizes character and immediate impact, using controlled irregularity to avoid a sterile look while keeping counters open enough to read in heavy weights.
Uppercase forms maintain simple, sturdy silhouettes, while lowercase adds more personality through kinked shoulders, slightly pinched joins, and varied curve tension. Numerals are chunky and friendly, matching the same cut-and-tilt behavior seen in letters. The texture becomes more noticeable in longer lines, where the irregularities create a distinctive, rhythmic pattern.
