A heavy, compact sans with irregular, hand-shaped construction and subtly varying widths across glyphs. Strokes are thick with mildly uneven joins and corners that alternate between crisp cuts and softened rounding, creating a cut-paper silhouette rather than geometric precision. Curves are full and slightly lopsided, counters are relatively tight, and terminals often end in wedge-like or blunted cuts. Overall rhythm is bouncy and inconsistent in a deliberate way, producing a lively texture in both uppercase and lowercase text.
Best suited to display roles where personality is the goal: posters, headings, logos, packaging, and playful brand systems. It works especially well in short to medium lines where the irregular rhythm can be appreciated, and in high-contrast, single-color applications where the chunky silhouettes stay clear.
The letterforms communicate an informal, handmade energy—more craft and character than neutrality. Its uneven angles and chunky mass read as approachable and humorous, with a cartoon-posters feel that adds motion and personality to short phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handcrafted sans voice that feels energetic and slightly offbeat. Its controlled irregularity suggests a focus on charm and visual texture over strict typographic uniformity.
Uppercase forms tend to feel tall and punchy, while lowercase shows simplified, sturdy shapes that keep the texture dense at text sizes. Numerals share the same thick, cut-ended treatment, with rounded forms that stay compact and graphic.
