A heavy, soft-edged sans with rounded corners and subtly uneven, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, but terminals and joins show slight wobble and asymmetry that creates a lively rhythm. Counters are generally open and rounded, with simplified construction and occasional wedge-like notches that add character. Proportions lean wide and compact, and the overall texture forms a dense, high-impact silhouette suited to short bursts of text.
Best suited for display applications where personality matters: headlines, posters, playful branding, packaging, and children’s or entertainment-oriented graphics. It can work in short subheads or callouts, but the dense weight and quirky rhythm make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The design reads as cheerful and informal, with a goofy, animated energy that feels approachable rather than strict. Its slight irregularities and bulbous forms give it a handcrafted, poster-like charm that suggests humor and personality.
The font appears intended as a characterful, attention-grabbing sans that trades geometric precision for warmth and humor. Its exaggerated weight and gently irregular forms are geared toward expressive typography that feels fun, bold, and approachable.
The uppercase and lowercase share a consistent chunky color, but the baseline and curves feel intentionally imperfect, enhancing a casual, cut-paper effect. Numerals match the same bold, rounded style and maintain strong presence at display sizes.
