A heavy, rounded sans with subtly irregular geometry that creates a hand-cut, wobbly silhouette. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with softly curved terminals and occasional angled cuts that keep edges from feeling mechanical. Counters are open and generous, and the overall rhythm feels slightly uneven in a deliberate way, with small shifts in width and curvature across glyphs. Numerals and capitals read sturdy and compact, while the lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey construction and maintains clear, high-contrast shapes through open apertures and broad bowls.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and short callouts where its playful texture can be a feature. It can also work for friendly branding, event graphics, or educational/children-oriented material. For long passages, the strong personality and bouncy rhythm are likely most effective in larger sizes or in limited doses as a secondary display face.
The face conveys an upbeat, approachable tone with a distinctly handmade character. Its bouncy texture and gentle wonkiness feel casual and humorous, suggesting craft, kids’ media, or friendly storefront energy rather than corporate neutrality. The bold silhouettes add confidence while the irregularities keep it warm and personable.
The design appears intended to offer a bold, approachable sans with an intentionally imperfect, handmade finish. Its goal is to stand out with warm, cartoon-like shapes while staying legible through open counters and straightforward letterforms.
In text, the uneven stroke edges and variable glyph widths create a lively texture that’s most noticeable at larger sizes. Spacing appears on the loose side for a display-oriented feel, and the rounded forms help maintain clarity even as shapes lean into a caricatured, cut-paper look.
