A heavy, tilted sans with chunky strokes, rounded corners, and deliberately uneven geometry. Letterforms feel hand-cut: stems bulge slightly, curves are soft and inflated, and terminals often end in blunt, angled cuts rather than crisp horizontals. The baseline and overall rhythm read as intentionally wavy, with subtle size and width shifts from glyph to glyph that create a bouncing texture. Counters are generally compact, and shapes like O/Q/8 appear full and ballooned, reinforcing the dense, poster-like color.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, event promos, packaging, and playful branding. It can also work for logos or product names where a friendly, comedic voice is desired; extended reading sizes may feel busy due to the bouncy rhythm and compact counters.
The tone is playful and offbeat, mixing cartoon energy with a retro display sensibility. Its quirky, bouncy silhouettes suggest fun, informality, and a slightly mischievous attitude rather than refinement or restraint.
Likely designed as an expressive display face that prioritizes personality and impact over neutrality. The tilted stance, chunky weight, and hand-cut irregularity appear intended to create an energetic, fun texture in titles and branding applications.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent swollen, soft-cornered construction, and the numerals match the same bold, cut-paper feel. The slant is noticeable in text, giving lines a forward motion, while the irregularities keep long passages from feeling mechanical.
