A heavy, geometric sans with broad strokes and softened corners, drawn with deliberate irregularities that create a hand-cut, slightly wobbly silhouette. Letterforms lean on simple, blocky construction with compact internal counters and occasional angled terminals, producing a varied rhythm from glyph to glyph. Curves are full and rounded, while straight stems and crossbars often show subtle shifts in width or alignment, reinforcing an intentionally imperfect, crafted feel.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, display headlines, packaging, and bold brand marks where personality matters. It can work in large-size editorial callouts or playful signage, but the compact counters and strong density make it less ideal for long passages at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is bold and jovial, with an informal energy that feels humorous and approachable. Its uneven details suggest a DIY, cut-paper or stamp-like character, giving text a lively, animated presence rather than a strict, corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, unconventional voice, using controlled irregularity to avoid a sterile geometric look. It prioritizes charm and visibility over strict uniformity, making it a strong choice for expressive display typography.
In continuous text, the strong weight and tight counters create dense, high-impact lines, while the quirky micro-variation keeps headlines from feeling static. Numerals are similarly chunky and expressive, matching the letters’ playful irregularity.
