A heavy, rounded sans with a deliberately irregular, hand-cut feel. Strokes stay broadly even in thickness, while terminals and joins show slight angularity and wobble that prevents the forms from feeling mechanical. Counters are open and generously sized, with circular letters (O, o, 8) reading as soft and full, and straight-sided letters (E, F, T, I) showing subtly uneven edges that add rhythm. Proportions are on the broad side with sturdy verticals, compact apertures, and simplified, high-impact shapes that hold together well at display sizes.
Best suited to posters, packaging, and branding that benefit from a friendly, attention-grabbing headline voice. It also fits kids-focused media, event graphics, and social content where a handcrafted, upbeat tone helps the message feel approachable. In longer passages it remains readable at larger sizes, but its strong personality will be most effective in display use.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a casual, slightly mischievous energy. Its uneven geometry reads as human and handmade, giving headlines a lighthearted, crafty character rather than a corporate or technical voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display sans with a handmade, imperfect finish. By keeping stroke weight consistent while introducing subtle irregularities, it aims to feel lively and human without sacrificing clarity at typical headline sizes.
The alphabet mixes smooth curves with occasional sharp, wedge-like cuts (notably in diagonals and some terminals), creating a distinctive “cut paper” texture. Numerals are bold and friendly, with clear silhouettes and rounded bowls; the 2 and 3 lean into playful curvature, while 1 and 7 keep a simple, blocky construction.
