A heavy, compact sans with an intentionally uneven, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, but edges wobble and terminals vary, creating a lively texture across words. Curves are full and slightly pinched in places, while straight stems lean subtly or bulge, giving many letters a gently distorted, cut-paper feel. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and spacing feels tight but animated due to inconsistent sidebearings and glyph-to-glyph width changes.
Best suited to short headlines and display settings where texture and personality are desired—posters, playful branding, packaging, stickers/labels, and kid-oriented materials. It holds up well at larger sizes where the irregular contours can be appreciated, but will feel busy and dense in long passages or at small text sizes.
The overall tone is humorous and informal, with a vintage-cartoon energy that feels handmade rather than engineered. Its bouncy rhythm and quirky irregularities read as friendly and attention-seeking, suited to expressive, upbeat messaging.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, approachable display voice with deliberate irregularity—like cut-out lettering or a cartoon title card—prioritizing charm and impact over strict geometric consistency.
Capitals have a poster-like presence with simplified construction, while lowercase forms keep the same playful wobble and rounded mass. Numerals match the chunky style and maintain strong spot-color, making them usable for short, bold callouts where character is more important than precision.
