A chunky, rounded sans with a monoline feel and noticeably irregular geometry. Strokes stay consistently heavy, but the outlines wobble slightly and many terminals are cut on small diagonals, creating a lively, hand-shaped impression. Counters are generally open and circular-to-oval, with broad curves in letters like C, O, and S, while straight-sided forms (E, F, L, T) keep blunt, simplified structure. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with short extenders and a single-storey a, reinforcing an informal, constructed rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and short-to-medium display text where personality and warmth are desired. It can also work for children’s or playful editorial applications, especially at sizes large enough to let the irregularities read as intentional texture rather than noise.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a cartoonish bounce that feels casual rather than engineered. The uneven tilt and off-kilter cuts add humor and warmth, making the texture feel animated and personable.
The design appears intended to translate a hand-cut, playful sans idea into a bold display voice—prioritizing charm, immediacy, and visual punch over strict geometric precision. Its consistent weight and softened forms aim to keep the style approachable while remaining highly legible in large settings.
Capitals read strong and poster-like, while the lowercase maintains the same weight and softness for cohesive text color. Numerals are rounded and friendly, with simplified shapes that prioritize impact over strict neutrality.
