A heavy, rounded sans with a deliberately irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with soft corners, slightly uneven curves, and subtle wobble in verticals and bowls that gives each glyph a unique, organic feel. Counters are generally small-to-medium and often asymmetrical (notably in O, P, and R), while joins and terminals look blunt and flattened rather than crisply geometric. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably across letters, producing a lively rhythm and a slightly off-kilter baseline texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where personality is the priority: headlines, posters, playful packaging, children’s materials, comics, and informal signage. It can also work for logos or badges that benefit from a bold, friendly voice, while longer body text may feel dense due to the heavy weight and tight counters.
The face reads as cheerful and mischievous, with a cartoon-like bounce and a homemade, crafty energy. Its chunky shapes feel approachable and kid-friendly, while the intentional irregularity adds humor and informality rather than precision or restraint.
The design appears intended to mimic a bold, hand-cut or hand-drawn display sans—prioritizing charm, warmth, and visual punch over geometric regularity. Its variable letter widths and subtly uneven outlines seem crafted to keep text feeling animated and approachable.
Uppercase forms are simplified and bold, with distinctive, slightly skewed diagonals (K, V, W, X) and a compact, blocky T. Lowercase maintains the same playful construction; single-storey a and g reinforce the casual tone, and the i/j dots appear as solid, rounded blocks that stand out in running text. Numerals follow the same cutout look, with strong mass and simplified interior shapes.
