A heavy, hand-cut looking sans with chunky strokes and noticeably irregular outlines. Curves and straight segments wobble slightly, corners are blunt rather than sharp, and bowls lean toward rounded, uneven geometry. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, producing an animated rhythm and a slightly bouncy baseline feel; counters are generally open and simple, keeping forms readable at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same roughened silhouette, giving the set a cohesive, intentionally imperfect texture.
Best suited for short, bold statements where personality is the priority—posters, titles, packaging, labels, and playful branding. It can also work for children’s materials or casual event graphics, while longer passages should be set with generous size and spacing to avoid visual fatigue from the rough texture.
The overall tone is playful and informal, with a crafty, handmade energy reminiscent of cut-paper signage or marker-drawn lettering. Its uneven edges and exaggerated weight add a humorous, approachable character that feels casual rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture an organic, hand-made sans look with strong presence and a deliberately imperfect finish. Its purpose is to add warmth and character to display typography while keeping letterforms straightforward and broadly legible.
Stroke modulation is minimal, but the perceived weight shifts due to the irregular contours and slightly inconsistent widths. The texture becomes a prominent visual feature in paragraphs, where the uneven edges create a lively, mottled color that is more expressive than neutral.
