A heavy, compact sans with a deliberately irregular silhouette and hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with subtly uneven curves and occasional angled terminals that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Letterforms vary in width and stance from glyph to glyph, producing a slightly wavy baseline and a spontaneous, cut-paper geometry; counters stay relatively open for the weight, helping keep the shapes readable. Numerals follow the same chunky, offbeat construction, with rounded forms and occasional skewed joins that emphasize the informal character.
Best suited for short-to-medium text where personality is the priority: posters, headline typography, branding marks, packaging, stickers, and event or children’s materials. It can also work for social graphics and merchandise where a bold, hand-made voice helps content stand out.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, like signage made from stencils or cut vinyl by hand rather than a rigid industrial sans. Its wobble and unevenness add personality and humor, making text feel conversational and energetic instead of formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an intentionally imperfect, handmade construction—combining the clarity of a sans foundation with a quirky, cutout-like irregularity for expressive display typography.
The font’s visual interest comes from controlled inconsistency: small shifts in stem angles, curve tension, and terminal shapes prevent repetitive texture. In longer lines the texture reads as intentionally “wobbly,” so it works best when that character is a feature rather than a flaw.
