A heavy, chunky sans with softly rounded corners and subtly uneven, hand-cut geometry. Strokes stay largely monolinear, while counters and joins vary just enough to create a lively rhythm. Many forms show slight tilt and wobble from glyph to glyph, with broad proportions and generous bowls that keep shapes open at display sizes. Overall spacing feels loose and buoyant, contributing to an informal, cut-paper silhouette rather than strict mechanical construction.
Best suited to display applications where bold shapes and character are priorities: posters, playful branding, packaging, event titles, and kid-oriented materials. It also works well for punchy captions or short statements, especially when you want a handmade, energetic texture.
The tone is cheerful and mischievous, with a kid-friendly, cartoon-like energy. Its irregularities read as intentional and handmade, giving text a casual, approachable voice that feels more like a shouty sticker or poster than formal typography.
Likely intended as an expressive display sans that mimics hand-cut lettering—prioritizing warmth, impact, and a lively baseline over geometric precision. The goal appears to be instant friendliness and high visual presence at larger sizes.
The design’s personality comes from inconsistent angles and subtly varying widths across glyphs, creating a dynamic texture in paragraphs. The numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction, keeping the set cohesive for playful headlines and short bursts of copy.
