A heavy, compact sans with chunky strokes and softly rounded corners, shaped with an intentionally irregular, hand-cut feel. Letterforms show subtle wobble and uneven stroke edges, creating a lively rhythm and a slightly shifting baseline in text. Counters are simple and fairly open for the weight, while terminals tend to be blunt and rounded rather than sharply squared. Overall spacing feels tight and energetic, with noticeable variation in character widths and a generally condensed stance.
Best suited to short display settings where character and impact matter: posters, headlines, packaging, event graphics, and expressive branding. It can also work for kids-oriented or entertainment applications where a friendly, off-kilter tone is desired, but it is less appropriate for dense body text that needs a steady, neutral rhythm.
The font reads as playful and informal, with a comic, DIY personality that suggests cut-paper signage or a hand-stamped display. Its uneven geometry gives it charm and movement, making it feel friendly and a bit mischievous rather than precise or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing sans with deliberate imperfection—prioritizing personality, warmth, and a hand-made texture over strict geometric consistency. It aims to create an immediate, approachable voice that stands out in display sizes.
In longer lines the texture becomes noticeably animated due to the alternating wide/narrow shapes and the small inconsistencies in verticals and curves. Numerals match the bold, compact construction and keep the same hand-made wobble, supporting cohesive display typography across letters and figures.
