A chunky, hand-drawn sans with compact proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, with softly rounded terminals and subtle wobble that suggests marker or brush lettering rather than rigid geometry. Counters are relatively small and shapes feel slightly squeezed, while letterforms vary just enough in width and curve to keep the texture organic and informal. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy constructions with rounded bowls and short extenders, and the figures match the same heavy, inked presence for bold, attention-getting numerals.
Works best for short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and bold branding moments where an informal voice is desired. It can also suit book covers and promotional graphics, especially when paired with simpler body text to balance its strong texture.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a casual handmade charm that reads as fun rather than serious. Its slightly irregular silhouette and dense, black color give it a bold, poster-like energy that feels at home in lighthearted, crafty, or kid-friendly settings.
Designed to deliver a bold, handmade look with an easygoing, friendly personality. The consistent stroke mass and lightly irregular outlines prioritize warmth and immediacy, aiming for standout display readability with a crafted, human feel.
At text sizes the heavy weight creates a strong, dark typographic color, so generous tracking and leading can help preserve clarity. The more idiosyncratic shapes (notably in curved caps and some diagonals) add character, making it especially effective when used as a display face rather than for long passages.
