A very heavy, soft-edged sans with simplified geometry and subtly irregular contours that give the letterforms a hand-cut, slightly wobbly silhouette. Strokes stay broadly uniform, terminals are blunt and rounded, and counters are compact, producing dense black shapes at display sizes. Uppercase forms are blocky and stable, while lowercase and figures show more quirky variance in widths and shaping, creating an uneven, lively rhythm across words. The overall texture is bold and matte, with little internal detail and a strong emphasis on silhouette.
Best used where bold, characterful letterforms need to carry the design: posters, headlines, product packaging, and playful brand marks. It can work well for short blurbs, labels, and social graphics where its irregular rhythm adds personality. For extended reading or small sizes, the dense counters and heavy color may reduce clarity, so pairing with a simpler text face is advisable.
The font reads as playful and informal, with a cartoon-like confidence and a mischievous edge. Its chunky shapes and gentle wobble feel approachable and youthful, favoring charm and personality over strict precision. The tone is energetic and attention-grabbing, well suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design intent appears to be a friendly, high-impact display sans that communicates fun and informality through chunky silhouettes and deliberate irregularity. It prioritizes recognizability and attitude in large-scale applications, offering a handcrafted, cartoon-forward look without relying on decorative flourishes.
Spacing and proportions appear intentionally inconsistent in places, which amplifies the handmade character but can make long passages feel busy. The dot on the lowercase i/j is prominent and rounded, and several diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) emphasize the cut-paper feel through slightly uneven joins and angles.
