A heavy, rounded sans with irregular, hand-cut geometry and a consistent forward lean. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with softened corners and subtly warped verticals that create a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are generally generous for the weight, and many glyphs show slight asymmetries and wobble-like curvature, giving the set an intentionally imperfect, cut-paper feel. Uppercase forms read chunky and compact, while lowercase maintains simple, single-storey constructions and a compact vertical footprint.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, playful branding, packaging callouts, event flyers, and kid-oriented materials. It also works well for comic-style headings, social graphics, and labels where personality and immediacy matter more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is upbeat and mischievous, with a casual, cartoon-like friendliness. Its tilted, uneven stance suggests motion and spontaneity, making the voice feel informal, youthful, and attention-seeking without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to mimic a lively, handmade sans—prioritizing personality, motion, and bold presence. Its controlled irregularities and soft edges aim to deliver a friendly display voice that stands out quickly and reads as deliberately informal.
The spacing and silhouette vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, which enhances the handmade character and creates a textured, poster-like color on the page. Numerals follow the same chunky, simplified construction, staying bold and highly visible at display sizes.
