A heavy, compact sans with rounded geometry and a deliberately uneven rhythm. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, but terminals and joins show subtle hand-cut irregularities that make letters feel slightly tilted or squeezed. Curves are full and bulbous, with relatively small counters and tight apertures in letters like C, S, and e; straight strokes are blunt and end in softly angled cuts rather than crisp orthogonal endings. Overall spacing reads lively and a bit unpredictable, creating a chunky texture in words and a strong silhouette at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where personality matters more than neutrality: posters, playful brand identities, product packaging, stickers, titles, and short callouts. It can work for large-size editorial or event graphics, but the tight counters and lively spacing make it less ideal for long reading at small sizes.
The tone is cheerful and mischievous, with a crafted, cut-paper feel that reads as informal and characterful rather than strictly geometric. Its bouncy shapes and chunky mass suggest kids’ media, lighthearted branding, and retro novelty lettering.
The design appears intended to provide a friendly, high-impact sans for attention-grabbing display typography, combining rounded, approachable shapes with subtle irregularities to evoke a handmade, quirky voice.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and simplified, while lowercase keeps single-story a and g and maintains a consistent, friendly roundness. The numeral set is bold and graphic, designed for quick recognition in headlines; some figures and diagonals lean into the same slightly irregular, handmade energy seen in the letters.
