A heavy, soft-edged sans with chunky strokes and gently rounded corners. The letterforms show deliberate irregularity: verticals lean and wobble slightly, bowls are asymmetrical, and terminals often end in blunted wedges rather than perfectly flat cuts. Counters are generally open and generous for the weight, while joins and curves feel hand-shaped, creating a lively rhythm across words. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent thickness and simple construction, with subtle size and width fluctuations that add a cutout-like, informal texture.
Well-suited to display typography such as posters, playful headlines, event promos, and packaging that benefits from a bold, friendly voice. It also works for short-form branding elements—logos, labels, social graphics, and merchandise—where character and impact matter more than dense text readability.
The overall tone is upbeat and mischievous, with a casual, handcrafted feel. Its uneven stance and bouncy spacing give it a spontaneous, human presence that reads as fun and approachable rather than formal or technical.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a warm, handmade personality. Its intentionally imperfect proportions and softly rounded, chunky forms suggest an aim toward expressive display use, evoking a retro-cartoon or cut-paper sensibility.
The design maintains strong silhouette clarity at display sizes, with distinctive, slightly off-kilter shapes that make individual letters memorable. Because of the exaggerated weight and irregular geometry, long passages can feel visually busy; it performs best when allowed breathing room in tracking and line spacing.
