A compact, heavy sans with softly rounded, slightly lumpy contours and noticeably irregular stroke edges that give it a hand-cut or hand-inked feel. Letterforms are simplified and mostly monoline in impression, but with subtle, uneven swelling and tapering that creates a lively texture across words. Counters are small and sometimes off-center, and terminals tend to be blunt or softly curved rather than sharply finished. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, producing a bouncy rhythm; curves (C, G, O, S) feel intentionally imperfect, while verticals often lean toward chunky rectangular masses.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, packaging, and expressive branding where personality is an asset. It can also work for short blurbs in informal contexts, but the dense weight and irregular rhythm are most effective at larger sizes and with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone is informal and characterful, reading as playful, crafty, and slightly mischievous. Its irregularity adds warmth and personality, suggesting a casual, handmade sensibility rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans voice with a deliberately imperfect, handmade construction. Its softened geometry and uneven detailing prioritize charm and distinctiveness over strict regularity.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent chunky silhouette, with the lowercase showing compact bowls and short extenders that keep lines dense. Numerals are bold and friendly, with rounded forms and occasional asymmetry that matches the letters. The texture becomes more apparent in longer text, where the uneven edges create a subtle vibrating, poster-like grain.
