A chunky, irregular sans with heavy strokes and softly faceted edges that feel cut or pressed rather than drawn with a consistent tool. Forms are simplified and mostly monoline in impression, with uneven contour rhythm and subtly shifting widths that create a lively, handmade texture. Bowls and counters tend toward squarish-octagonal shapes, terminals are blunt, and joins are slightly wobbly, giving the alphabet a deliberately imperfect, organic consistency. The lowercase is compact with sturdy stems and rounded, somewhat pinched counters, while figures are similarly blocky and simplified for strong silhouette recognition.
Well-suited to short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, headlines, signage, and playful packaging where a bold, handmade voice is desired. It also fits children’s materials, comics, and casual branding that benefits from an approachable, crafted texture; for longer passages, it works best when set with generous spacing and at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is playful and informal, with a crafty, DIY energy that reads as friendly and slightly mischievous. Its bouncy irregularity suggests humor and approachability rather than precision or restraint.
The font appears intended to deliver a robust sans voice with intentional irregularity—prioritizing character and tactile presence over geometric precision. Its simplified shapes and sturdy counters aim to stay legible while projecting a crafted, expressive personality.
The design maintains clear, readable silhouettes despite the roughened geometry, and the texture becomes more apparent at larger sizes where the faceting and unevenness can be appreciated. In continuous text it produces a dense, punchy color with a noticeable hand-cut character.
