A chunky, heavy sans with soft curves and intentionally uneven geometry. Strokes are broadly uniform and end in blunt, slightly angled terminals, with subtle wobble and asymmetry that keeps the texture lively. Counters are compact and rounded, apertures tend to be closed, and spacing varies slightly from glyph to glyph, creating a buoyant rhythm in words. Uppercase forms feel squat and sturdy, while lowercase forms are simplified and compact with prominent dots on i and j and a single-storey, rounded construction in letters like a and g.
Best suited to short-form display settings such as posters, playful branding, packaging, and youth-oriented graphics where character is more important than neutrality. It can work for titles, pull quotes, and signage, especially when set with a bit of extra letterspacing to keep the bold forms from crowding.
The overall tone is playful and informal, evoking a hand-cut or cartoon display feel rather than a strict, engineered sans. Its irregularities read as deliberate personality—friendly, a bit mischievous, and attention-grabbing without feeling sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable voice through simplified forms and purposeful irregularity, mimicking a handmade or cut-paper spontaneity while remaining legible as a sans display style.
Numerals and capitals carry the same off-kilter stance as the letters, helping maintain consistency in headlines. The dense shapes and tight counters suggest it will look best with comfortable tracking and at sizes where the interior space can stay clear.
