A compact, heavy sans with rounded terminals and softly squared curves that give each glyph a carved, slightly irregular silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and many letters show subtle waviness and asymmetry that reads as intentionally hand-shaped rather than geometric precision. Counters are tight and the overall spacing feels snug, producing a dense, punchy texture in text. Diagonals and joins (notably in K, M, N, V, W, and X) are simplified and stout, reinforcing the robust, blocky rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, short UI labels, packaging, and brand marks where a friendly, handcrafted feel is desired. It works well for playful editorial callouts, event posters, kids-focused materials, and informal signage where strong color and high impact are more important than long-form readability.
The font projects a cheerful, approachable tone with a lightly quirky, handmade character. Its bouncy outlines and compact proportions suggest an informal, fun voice that feels nostalgic and craft-oriented rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, high-impact sans with a deliberately hand-cut, slightly uneven finish. Its goal is to balance bold legibility with a warm, personality-forward texture that stands out in display typography.
Lowercase forms keep strong individuality (single-storey a, compact e, looped g) and the numerals are bold and attention-grabbing, suitable for short bursts. At smaller sizes the tight counters and weight may reduce clarity, while at display sizes the distinctive irregularities become a key part of its charm.
