A compact, heavy sans with hand-drawn irregularity and subtly flared, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are sturdy with gentle modulation and frequent angled cuts that create a chiseled, hand-cut look rather than clean geometric finishing. Letterforms stay broadly upright but vary in width and spacing, giving the line a lively, slightly uneven rhythm. Curves are full and rounded, counters are open, and many joins and ends feel intentionally roughened for texture.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a bold, friendly voice is desired. It can also work for short bursts of text—taglines, pull quotes, and labels—where its textured rhythm adds character, though its deliberate irregularity may feel busy in long-form reading.
The overall tone is warm and characterful, with a playful, storybook sensibility. Its uneven edges and energetic proportions read as informal and human, lending a hint of rustic charm without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-cut or hand-lettered sans: sturdy, readable shapes combined with intentionally uneven terminals and widths to add warmth and individuality. It aims to deliver strong impact at larger sizes while maintaining an approachable, informal feel.
In text, the strong weight and textured terminals remain noticeable, producing a dark, punchy color that prioritizes personality over strict typographic neutrality. The numerals follow the same sturdy, slightly irregular construction, supporting cohesive display use alongside headings.
