A chunky sans with irregular, hand-cut geometry and softly rounded terminals. Strokes stay mostly monoline, with noticeable wobble and subtle tapering that makes each glyph feel individually shaped rather than mechanically constructed. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with lively baseline and sidebearing inconsistency that creates a bouncy rhythm in text. Curves are full and simplified, counters are small-to-medium, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read as blunt, angular wedges. Numerals are heavy and friendly, matching the same uneven stroke energy and compact spacing.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where character is more important than strict regularity—posters, playful branding, packaging, event flyers, comic-style headings, and kid-oriented materials. It can work for brief blurbs or pull quotes, but the lively spacing and irregular forms will feel busy in long body copy.
The font conveys a lighthearted, mischievous tone—casual and approachable, like lettering cut from paper or drawn for a comic title. Its uneven rhythm adds personality and humor, leaning more toward expressive display than neutral utility.
The design appears intended to mimic handmade, cutout-style lettering in a bold, compact sans voice, prioritizing charm and immediacy over typographic neutrality. Its consistent monoline weight and intentionally uneven rhythm suggest it was drawn to add personality and a retro-cartoon presence in display applications.
The sample text shows a consistent “tilty” feel across words, with slight angular lean and varying letter widths that keep the texture animated. The lowercase has a simple, single-storey construction (notably in forms like a) and uses round dots on i/j, reinforcing the informal, handcrafted character.
