A heavy, rounded sans with a deliberately imperfect, hand-cut finish. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with softly squared terminals and subtle waviness along the edges that gives each letter a slightly irregular silhouette. Counters are open and generous, and many forms lean toward compact, blocky proportions rather than geometric precision. The overall rhythm is lively, with small variations in curvature and width that keep the texture from feeling mechanical.
Works well for posters, headlines, packaging, and branding where a friendly, handmade voice is desired. It’s especially suited to kids-focused or casual food/retail applications, as well as short bursts of text on stickers, labels, and social graphics. For extended reading, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity while preserving its textured charm.
The font reads as warm and informal, with a playful, slightly quirky character. Its roughened contours suggest hand lettering or cut-paper signage, giving it an approachable, upbeat tone that feels more crafty than corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice that mimics hand-made lettering while staying structurally simple and highly legible. The controlled irregularity and rounded construction aim to add personality and warmth without sacrificing clear letter recognition.
In longer text the irregular outlines create a textured color on the line, adding personality but also making it best suited to larger sizes. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded construction and match the letters well for display settings.
