A heavy, chunky sans with softly rounded corners and a deliberately uneven, hand-cut rhythm. Many strokes show small triangular notches or wedge-like cuts that create a subtly “chiseled” silhouette, while counters stay relatively open for such a dense design. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a bouncy texture; diagonals and bowls feel slightly tilted or compressed, and terminals often end in blunt, blocky shapes rather than clean geometric finishes. Overall spacing reads lively and irregular, favoring character over strict uniformity.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, short calls-to-action, event graphics, and logo/wordmark work where its playful irregularity can be a feature. It also fits packaging and entertainment-oriented branding (games, snacks, kids or family content) that benefits from a bold, characterful voice. For longer passages, it will be most effective in short bursts or large sizes where the wedge-cut detailing remains clear.
The font projects a mischievous, cartoon-forward personality with a vintage poster vibe. Its chunky weight and quirky cut-ins feel friendly and informal, suggesting humor, energy, and a bit of rough-and-ready handcrafted charm rather than corporate polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, attention-grabbing sans with a handcrafted, cut-paper or carved look. Its irregular rhythm and signature notches prioritize personality and memorability over neutrality, aiming for expressive display typography that feels fun and slightly retro.
The distinctive wedge notches appear across both uppercase and lowercase, creating a consistent “nibbled” detail that becomes a key identifying trait in text. Numerals match the same chunky construction and maintain strong presence, especially at display sizes where the cut-ins read as intentional texture.
