A heavy, rounded sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and largely monoline, with softly blunted terminals and subtly lopsided curves that keep the texture lively. Many glyphs sit on a slight backward slant, and the overall rhythm is uneven in a controlled way, producing a buoyant, almost “cut-out” silhouette. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be somewhat closed, which increases the dark color and punch at display sizes.
Best suited for display work where personality matters: posters, headlines, playful branding, packaging, stickers, and short promotional copy. It can also work for children’s materials, event graphics, and casual signage, especially where a bold, friendly tone is desired. For longer text, it’s likely most comfortable in short bursts such as captions or callouts rather than dense paragraphs.
The font reads as cheerful and mischievous, with a casual, cartoon-like energy. Its unevenness and backward lean give it a spontaneous, off-the-cuff tone—more fun and expressive than formal or neutral. The overall impression is friendly, bold, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable voice with a deliberately imperfect, hand-made texture. Its backward slant and irregular geometry emphasize motion and character over typographic neutrality, aiming for immediate visual impact and a lighthearted mood.
The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably in a and g) that reinforce the informal voice. Numerals are similarly chunky and rounded, matching the letters in weight and looseness. The dark color and compact counters suggest it will feel strongest with generous spacing and at sizes where the interior shapes can breathe.
