A heavy, compact sans with softly rounded corners and an intentionally uneven, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with subtle wobble in stems and bowls that creates a lively rhythm. Counters are small and often pinched, and terminals tend to end in blunt, slightly flared shapes. Overall spacing feels tight and energetic, with small variations in letter widths and a slightly jostled baseline feel in text.
Works best for short display settings such as posters, titles, packaging, stickers, and playful branding where strong black shapes and personality are desired. It can also suit children’s materials and casual event graphics, especially at medium to large sizes where counters remain clear.
The tone is fun and mischievous, leaning toward cartoon signage and playful display typography. Its chunky shapes and irregular geometry give it a homemade, cut-paper personality that reads as informal and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a friendly, handmade display voice—maximizing impact with thick, rounded forms while using irregular outlines to add character and motion.
Uppercase forms are simple and bold with rounded interior corners, while lowercase maintains the same chunky construction with compact apertures that can close up at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same inflated, cutout style and are built for impact rather than precision.
