A heavy, chunky sans with softly rounded corners and subtly pinched, cut-in terminals that create a hand-shaped, slightly uneven rhythm. Counters are generally small and compact, while bowls and stems stay thick and consistent, giving the design a strong, poster-ready silhouette. The letterforms lean toward simplified geometry with occasional wedge-like notches and asymmetric joins that add character without becoming script-like. Numerals match the same bold, compact construction, with wide curves and tight apertures that keep the overall texture dense.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It also fits children’s media, event graphics, and bold labels where a friendly, characterful sans is desirable. Longer text will appear very dense, so it works most effectively in display sizes with generous line spacing.
The tone is upbeat and informal, with a cartoon-signage energy that feels friendly and a bit mischievous. Its lumpy, bouncy shapes suggest a handcrafted or cut-paper sensibility, prioritizing personality over strict mechanical regularity. The result is approachable and attention-grabbing rather than restrained or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, display-oriented sans with a handcrafted wobble—combining thick, simplified structures with small quirks (notches and softened edges) to create a memorable, cheerful voice.
Spacing and internal shapes read intentionally tight, producing a dark, cohesive typographic color at text sizes. Distinctive notches and softened corners help differentiate similar forms, while the overall system stays visually consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
