A chunky, heavy display face with broad, uneven silhouettes and softly rounded corners. Strokes feel hand-shaped rather than geometric, with subtly wavy verticals, flattened curves, and frequent wedge-like terminals that create a cut-paper look. Counters are small and irregular, sometimes appearing as rounded rectangles, and the overall rhythm is intentionally lumpy with noticeable glyph-to-glyph width variation.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, product packaging, sticker-style graphics, and merch. It performs well when you want a strong silhouette and personality-forward typography, and it benefits from generous sizing and spacing to keep tight counters from filling in.
The tone is mischievous and offbeat, reading as friendly but deliberately awkward. Its inflated shapes and quirky detailing suggest a lighthearted, comic energy with a vintage novelty flavor rather than a clean modern voice.
Likely designed to deliver maximum personality through exaggerated weight, uneven width, and hand-cut irregularities, prioritizing character and visual punch over neutral readability. The consistent softness and wedge-like shaping aim to make the letterforms feel crafted and playful in display settings.
The lowercase is especially idiosyncratic (single-storey a, compact e, simple r), and several letters have distinctive notches or angled joins that enhance the handmade feel. Numerals are blocky and attention-grabbing, with tight internal spaces that become prominent at smaller sizes.
