A compact, heavy sans with a deliberately irregular, hand-cut construction. Strokes maintain a broadly even thickness, but terminals and joins show slight kinks and tapered or wedge-like endings that create a jittery silhouette. Counters are simple and fairly open for the weight, with rounded bowls contrasted by occasional flat cuts and angled shoulders. Overall spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, giving the texture a lively, uneven rhythm while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where personality matters—posters, event graphics, packaging, labels, and social media cards. It can also work well in children’s materials and playful branding, especially where an informal, handcrafted tone is desired.
The font reads as upbeat and informal, with a DIY, cut-paper energy that feels approachable rather than precise. Its slightly wobbly outlines and bouncy proportions suggest humor and spontaneity, making it well suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly sans voice with a purposely imperfect, handmade finish. It prioritizes character and visual punch over strict geometric consistency, offering a distinctive texture for display typography.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase introduces more bounce and asymmetry, reinforcing the handmade character. Numerals follow the same chunky, simplified logic, with clear shapes and small idiosyncrasies in curves and terminals that keep the set visually cohesive.
