A chunky, compact sans with softly rounded corners and an intentionally uneven, hand-cut feel. Strokes are heavy and mostly uniform, with subtle wobble in verticals and diagonals that creates a lively rhythm. Counters are generally small and rounded, and several forms show slight top-heavy or tilted terminals, giving the alphabet a charmingly irregular silhouette while keeping overall construction simple and sans-like. Numerals match the letterforms with bulbous shapes and bold, closed counters.
Well-suited for short, attention-grabbing display lines such as posters, playful branding, product packaging, and sticker or merch graphics. It can also work for humorous pull quotes or section headers where personality is more important than neutrality.
The font reads friendly and humorous, with a DIY, cut-paper personality that feels lighthearted rather than formal. Its bouncy irregularity suggests casual signage, kids’ media, and retro novelty graphics.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a handcrafted, slightly offbeat character, mimicking cutout lettering while retaining straightforward sans structures for quick recognition.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, adding to the handmade tone and producing a lively texture in text. The heavy weight and compact apertures make it most comfortable at display sizes where the distinctive shapes and quirky rhythm are clearly visible.
