A heavy, rounded sans with a hand-cut, uneven silhouette and softly faceted curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to look pressed or carved rather than mechanically drawn. Counters are compact and slightly irregular, contributing to a dense color on the page, while letter shapes vary subtly in width and stance for a lively rhythm. The lowercase has a large, open presence with simple forms and short extenders, and the numerals match the same chunky, sculpted construction.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, stickers, and packaging where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It also works for kids-oriented content, comic-style titling, event promos, and short social graphics where texture and personality are more important than neutral readability.
The overall tone is playful and informal, with a friendly, cartoon-like energy. Its wobbly contours and compact counters give it a crafty, DIY character that feels more expressive than neutral, leaning toward fun, youthful, and attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic a bold hand-rendered or cut-paper look while keeping a simple sans skeleton for straightforward letter recognition. Its slightly irregular widths and carved terminals suggest an emphasis on warmth, approachability, and impact in display settings.
At text sizes the heavy weight and tight internal spaces can make word shapes feel compact, so it tends to read best with generous tracking and leading. The irregular edges create strong personality in headlines and short bursts, while long passages may feel visually busy due to the dense stroke mass.
