A heavy, rounded sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes maintain a broadly consistent thickness, but outlines wobble and swell slightly, creating lively texture and uneven rhythm across the line. Counters are compact and mostly round, with soft terminals and occasional angled cuts that add a casual, cut-paper feel. Overall proportions lean wide and sturdy, with mixed curve tension and subtle baseline and sidebearing inconsistency that reads as expressive rather than mechanical.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, stickers, and packaging where a friendly handmade tone is desired. It also fits children’s materials and comic-style titling, especially when you want strong readability with an informal, playful edge.
The letterforms feel friendly, mischievous, and energetic, like a handmade display face for playful messaging. Its bouncy irregularity and chunky mass give it a warm, cartoon-like tone that suggests fun, informality, and a bit of silliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice that mimics hand-cut or hand-drawn lettering while staying simple and sans in construction. Its irregular outline and bouncy rhythm prioritize character and warmth over strict typographic regularity.
The font’s personality comes from consistent bold mass paired with deliberately uneven contours, so it appears most coherent at display sizes where the wobble reads as texture rather than distortion. The figures match the letters’ rounded, hefty construction and maintain the same playful irregularity.
