A chunky, soft-edged display sans with subtly irregular outlines and a lively, hand-cut feel. Strokes are heavy with gentle modulation and rounded terminals, creating a slightly inflated silhouette rather than rigid geometry. Proportions lean compact and upright, while counters stay open enough to keep forms recognizable; widths vary by character, adding a casual rhythm. The overall texture is bold and high-impact, with small inconsistencies that read as intentional and expressive.
Well suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, event graphics, playful branding, packaging, and social media titles. It can work for large-size pull quotes or signage where a friendly, informal voice is desired; for longer passages, larger sizes and extra spacing improve clarity.
The font projects a cheerful, mischievous tone with a distinctly handmade character. Its uneven rhythm and cushioned shapes feel informal and approachable, suggesting fun, humor, and lighthearted energy rather than precision or restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice that feels human and spontaneous. Its controlled irregularity and soft, weighty forms prioritize personality and impact over strict typographic neutrality.
In running text the dark color builds quickly, so it reads best when given room: generous tracking and line spacing help preserve internal shapes. The strongest personality comes through in rounded joins and the slightly wavy verticals, which create a noticeable “wobble” across headlines.
