A compact, heavy sans with uniform stroke weight and a deliberately uneven, hand-cut rhythm. Shapes are mostly rounded with blunt terminals, but many letters show subtle tilts, off-center bowls, and slightly varied widths that create a lively, imperfect texture. Counters are relatively small and sturdy, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S, and numerals) feel softly squared rather than geometric. Lowercase forms are simple and dense, with short ascenders/descenders and a small, stout look that keeps word shapes tight.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, cover titles, and playful branding. It can work well for packaging, event graphics, and casual signage where a friendly, handmade tone is desirable; for longer passages, the dense shapes and irregular rhythm are more appropriate in larger sizes.
The font reads as playful and informal, like signage made from cut paper or a marker-drawn display face cleaned up into a consistent system. Its uneven cadence adds personality and approachability, steering it toward fun, characterful messaging rather than neutral corporate tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, compact display sans with intentional human irregularities—prioritizing character and warmth over strict geometric precision. It aims to keep forms sturdy and legible while injecting a bouncy, handcrafted energy into word shapes.
Uppercase has a poster-like presence with compact proportions and pronounced, rounded massing, while the lowercase retains the same chunky weight and irregularity for a cohesive voice. Numerals are bold and friendly, matching the slightly wobbly curvature and giving figures an attention-grabbing, handmade feel.
