A chunky, compact sans with deliberately uneven contours and a subtly wavy baseline rhythm. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, with soft corners, occasional wedge-like joins, and slightly pinched terminals that create a cut-paper or carved feel. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with narrow counters and lively asymmetry; diagonals and curves show intentional wobble rather than geometric precision. Numerals and punctuation follow the same irregular, hand-shaped logic, keeping texture dense and attention-grabbing in text.
Best used at display sizes where its uneven contours and tight, dark texture can read as intentional character. It works well for headlines, short bursts of copy, branding accents, packaging, and playful editorial or event materials; for long text, its dense color and irregular rhythm may become visually tiring.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a casual, handmade energy that feels more illustrative than corporate. Its bouncy shapes and uneven rhythm suggest a lighthearted, slightly retro personality suited to expressive, informal messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handmade sans voice—prioritizing personality and immediacy over strict geometry. Its controlled irregularity and compact shapes aim to create a memorable, friendly presence in titles and branding.
Spacing appears relatively tight and the dark color builds quickly, producing strong poster-like texture. The irregularity is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, making it feel like a unified display style rather than an accidental distortion.
