A heavy, compact sans with chunky strokes and softly rounded corners, shaped by gentle wobble and deliberate irregularity. Letterforms show uneven widths and subtle, hand-cut angles that keep counters open while giving verticals and diagonals a slightly leaning, off-kilter feel from glyph to glyph. Terminals are blunt and rounded rather than sharply sheared, and the overall silhouette reads as bold, blocky forms with a lively, uneven rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to display settings where personality is the priority, such as posters, headlines, playful branding, packaging, and children-focused materials. It can also work for comic-style captions or short bursts of text, though its strong, irregular rhythm is most effective at larger sizes rather than dense body copy.
The font conveys a playful, mischievous tone—more cartoon title card than corporate utility. Its bouncy proportions and irregular geometry feel personable and informal, suggesting humor, youthfulness, and a handmade sensibility.
The design appears intended to provide an approachable, high-impact display voice that feels hand-shaped and fun. Its irregular spacing and lively forms prioritize expressiveness and memorability, aiming for a casual, whimsical texture in titles and branding.
Capitals are especially sculptural and poster-like, while lowercase maintains the same chunky construction with simplified joins and sturdy stems. Numerals match the same bold, rounded treatment and read clearly at display sizes, with distinctive, slightly uneven contours that emphasize character over strict uniformity.
