A compact, heavy sans with softly rounded corners and subtly uneven geometry that keeps the letters feeling hand-cut rather than machined. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with wide counters in forms like O, P, and e, and terminals that often finish with slight angles or gentle curvature. The overall rhythm shows mild irregularity in alignment and curvature (notably in diagonals like K, V, W, X and in the shoulder joins), producing a lively texture in words while remaining solid and legible. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, with simple, open shapes and minimal interior detailing.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, poster titles, packaging callouts, and brand marks that benefit from a friendly, attention-grabbing voice. It also works well for playful UI accents, labels, and social graphics where bold shapes and quick recognition matter more than extended reading comfort.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a playful, slightly mischievous personality. Its imperfect, cut-paper feel suggests informality and warmth, making text feel energetic and a bit quirky rather than strict or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a human, crafted character—combining a sturdy sans foundation with deliberate irregularities to avoid a sterile look. It prioritizes personality and punch in display sizes while keeping letterforms straightforward enough for clear word shapes.
The uppercase set reads especially stable and blocky, while the lowercase introduces more bounce through rounded bowls and varied join angles. The design’s softened corners and occasional tilt-like shaping help large text feel animated without relying on decorative effects.
