A chunky, all-caps-forward sans with heavy, uneven strokes and visibly hand-drawn contours. Curves are softened and slightly wobbly, corners tend to be blunted, and joins often swell, creating a lively rhythm across words. Counters are generally compact and irregular (notably in O, P, R, e), and many forms show subtle tapering or bulges that suggest marker or brush pressure. Widths and sidebearings vary from glyph to glyph, giving lines a casual, non-mechanical texture while staying clearly legible at display sizes.
Best suited for display applications where personality matters more than typographic neutrality—posters, product packaging, stickers, event graphics, and playful branding. It also works well for children’s materials or comic-style titling, and for short UI labels where a friendly, handcrafted voice is desired.
The tone is warm and mischievous, with a cartoonish, handmade confidence. Its irregularity reads friendly and informal rather than rough, lending a sense of personality and motion to short phrases and headlines.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-rendered, inked look while maintaining the simplicity of a sans structure. Its deliberate irregularity and lively contrast aim to create a bold, approachable display voice that feels human and expressive rather than precise.
The uppercase set is particularly sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase retains the same weight and wobble with simplified, rounded structures. Numerals are bold and characterful, matching the same uneven stroke rhythm and slightly off-kilter geometry seen in the letters.
