A heavy, soft-edged sans with irregular, hand-cut contours and subtly wobbly verticals. Shapes are built from broad strokes with gently rounded corners, occasional flat spots, and uneven curves that create a carved-from-paper silhouette. Counters are small and sometimes asymmetric, with simplified interior spaces that keep the overall color dense. Proportions are compact and friendly, with a large x-height and short ascenders/descenders, producing a sturdy, blocky rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to display use such as posters, headlines, product packaging, stickers, and social graphics where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It also works well for children’s media, event titles, and playful branding, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the handmade texture can be appreciated.
The tone is playful and informal, with a bold, cartoon-like friendliness that reads as homemade and slightly mischievous. Its uneven edges add personality and approachability, suggesting craft, humor, and youthful energy rather than precision or formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, approachable display voice that feels handcrafted rather than mechanically geometric. It prioritizes characterful silhouettes and a lively rhythm to create memorable headings and punchy, informal messaging.
The uppercase and lowercase share a consistent chunky construction, but the outlines vary enough to feel intentionally imperfect and lively. Numerals match the same soft, blunted geometry, and the overall texture becomes more noticeable at larger sizes where the edge irregularities read as a deliberate stylistic feature.
