A heavy, all-caps-and-lowercase sans with chunky strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms show an intentionally uneven, hand-cut rhythm: verticals and curves subtly wobble, bowls are inflated, and many glyphs feel slightly skewed or irregular in width, producing a lively texture across lines. Counters are generally compact but kept open enough for legibility, with simple single-storey lowercase forms and a tall, prominent lowercase presence that reads strongly at display sizes. Numerals match the same blunt, sculpted construction, with simplified shapes and bold silhouettes.
Best suited for display use such as posters, headlines, packaging, and short promotional copy where bold impact and a playful voice are desired. It can also work well for children’s materials, comics-style graphics, and informal branding where a friendly, handmade sans look is appropriate.
The overall tone is upbeat and humorous, like cut-paper signage or a cartoon title card. Its uneven cadence adds energy and approachability, favoring personality over precision and giving text a talky, expressive feel.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, approachable display voice with a deliberately imperfect, hand-drawn/cut construction. It prioritizes immediate visibility and charm, using controlled irregularity to avoid a rigid geometric feel while remaining readable in short text.
In longer settings the strong black mass and irregular widths create a rolling, animated line; spacing appears designed to preserve readability despite the exaggerated weight. The font’s character is most apparent in rounded letters (C, O, S) and diagonals (K, V, W, X), where the deliberate wobble and chunky joins contribute to its handmade flavor.
