A heavy, soft-edged sans with rounded corners and slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes stay broadly even, with small notches and wedge-like terminals that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters are open and generously sized for the weight, and many letters show subtle angle shifts or uneven joins that keep the texture animated rather than rigid. The overall spacing and proportions feel intentionally a bit varied, giving the alphabet a buoyant, cut-paper look in both uppercase and lowercase, with sturdy, simplified figures to match.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, and bold social graphics where personality and impact matter most. It also fits playful branding and packaging, kids-oriented materials, and short, punchy labels or stickers. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with ample spacing.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a goofy, spirited energy that reads as informal and fun. Its wobble and chunky presence suggest a retro-comic sensibility—bold, friendly, and attention-grabbing without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended as a characterful, high-impact sans that mimics hand-cut or hand-drawn construction while staying clear and legible. Its goal seems to be instant visual warmth and humor—an expressive alternative to cleaner geometric or grotesque display faces.
In text, the strong weight builds a dark, high-impact typographic color; the slight irregularities become more noticeable at larger sizes where the quirky terminals and uneven angles add personality. The numerals and caps feel especially poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains the same playful, constructed flavor for short bursts of copy.
