A heavy, compact sans with softly rounded corners and slightly irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes maintain an even weight and the letters feel squeezed horizontally, producing tight bowls and narrow counters that stay open enough at display sizes. The forms show a gentle wobble in verticals and diagonals, with subtly asymmetric joins and a buoyant baseline rhythm that reads intentional rather than sloppy. Lowercase is large and sturdy, with short extenders and simple, single-storey constructions that keep the texture dense and uniform.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and punchy social graphics where its dense weight and quirky rhythm can carry personality. It also fits playful branding, children’s materials, and informal signage, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded shapes and narrow counters remain clear.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, like a bold hand-lettered headline drawn with a thick marker. Its small quirks—wavering stems, lively curves, and slightly off-kilter geometry—add humor and energy without tipping into chaos, giving it a casual, characterful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with a handmade edge—prioritizing recognizable silhouettes and energetic rhythm over strict geometric consistency. Its compact build and chunky strokes suggest a focus on attention-grabbing titles and branding moments where character is more important than neutrality.
Round letters (like O/C) are slightly squarish in their interior space, and many glyphs lean on broad, blunt terminals that enhance the “cut-out” feel. Numerals follow the same chunky, simplified logic, favoring bold silhouettes over fine internal detail. The font’s dense color and compact spacing make it most comfortable when given generous tracking and line spacing in longer settings.
