A heavy, compact sans with an intentionally uneven, cut-paper construction. Strokes are monolinear and very full, with occasional angular notches and wedge-like joins that create a subtly “chopped” silhouette. Counters are simple and open, terminals are mostly blunt, and many curves feel slightly flattened or tilted, producing a lively, wobbly rhythm across words. Uppercase and lowercase share the same robust, blocky DNA, while figures follow the same bold, geometric approach for strong presence in headlines.
Best suited to display settings where personality matters: posters, large headlines, packaging callouts, playful branding, and kid-focused or casual entertainment graphics. It also works well for short bursts of copy on stickers, social graphics, and event materials where a bold, quirky voice is desired.
The overall tone is cheerful and mischievous, like hand-cut signage or a retro cartoon title card. Its irregularities read as human and energetic rather than strictly geometric, giving text a friendly, attention-grabbing bounce.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a friendly, handcrafted attitude. By combining chunky proportions with irregular cutout details, it prioritizes character and immediacy over neutrality for eye-catching display typography.
Spacing feels intentionally uneven from glyph to glyph, enhancing the handmade effect. The distinctive notches and angled internal cuts are consistent enough to feel designed, but varied enough to keep texture lively in longer lines.
