A heavy, chunky sans with uneven, hand-cut contours and subtly warped verticals that keep the silhouettes lively. Strokes feel blocky and soft-edged rather than geometric, with small notches and squarish inner counters that vary slightly from glyph to glyph. Curves are simplified into bulbous arcs, corners are rounded, and terminals often end bluntly, creating a dense, poster-like color on the page. Overall spacing reads deliberately loose and irregular, contributing to a buoyant rhythm in text.
Best suited to short-form display: posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and playful brand marks where character matters more than refinement. It works well for youth-oriented or entertainment contexts and for punchy typographic accents, but the dense weight and irregularity make it less ideal for long reading at small sizes.
The tone is playful and mischievous, with a DIY, cartoon-title energy that feels informal and attention-seeking. Its wobble and chunky mass suggest humor and approachability, leaning toward a retro comic or cut-paper aesthetic rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, handmade feel—combining a bold display structure with deliberately imperfect outlines to create an expressive, memorable voice.
Uppercase forms are especially squat and block-driven, while the lowercase introduces more personality through asymmetry and varied proportions. Numerals are bold and sign-like, matching the same soft, cutout construction and maintaining strong visibility at large sizes.
