A chunky, geometric sans with softly rounded corners and deliberately irregular contours that give the strokes a hand-cut, slightly wobbly look. Counters are open and simple, with minimal contrast and a generally uniform stroke thickness that stays consistent across the set. Letter widths vary noticeably, and many terminals show subtle notches, angled cuts, or flattened ends, producing a lively rhythm rather than a mechanical grid. The lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, a simple e with a tight aperture, and a short, curved-shoulder r that reinforces the casual construction. Numerals are heavy and rounded, designed to match the same cut-paper silhouette and soft geometry.
Best suited to display applications where its handmade texture can be appreciated: posters, packaging, event graphics, playful brand identities, and short headlines. It can also work for children’s products, casual signage, and social graphics where a friendly, crafted tone is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, reading as crafty and approachable rather than technical or corporate. Its uneven edges and bouncy spacing suggest handmade signage, kids’ materials, or playful branding with a retro-cartoon flavor. The font projects warmth and personality, prioritizing character over strict typographic precision.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-shaped, cutout aesthetic in a clean sans framework—combining simple geometric structure with irregular outlines to create an expressive, personable voice for display typography.
The distinctive, slightly distorted outlines and occasional angular nicks at joins and terminals create strong texture at display sizes. In longer text blocks, the energetic rhythm and variable widths become a defining feature, adding motion and charm but also making the voice feel intentionally unconventional.
