A compact, heavy sans with irregular, hand-cut geometry and subtly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms lean on simple, mostly closed shapes with softened corners, but maintain crisp, decisive terminals. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; bowls and counters are generous, and curves often feel slightly pinched or asymmetric. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact, rounded i/j dot, and generally short extenders, reinforcing the dense, blocky color.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and brand marks where a friendly, characterful voice is desired. It can also work for short bursts of copy (captions, pull quotes, UI labels) when a casual, playful tone is appropriate and ample size/leading is available.
The overall tone is cheerful and offbeat, with a cut-paper or cartoon sign-painting energy. Its uneven widths and slightly wobbly silhouettes read as approachable and human, making it feel expressive rather than mechanical. The font communicates fun, spontaneity, and a lighthearted DIY sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, personable sans that feels handmade and energetic, prioritizing charm and recognizability over strict typographic regularity. Its variable proportions and slightly irregular contours suggest it was drawn to stand out in attention-grabbing, informal contexts.
At text sizes the strong weight produces solid color and clear word shapes, while the intentionally irregular outlines and spacing give it a distinctive texture. Numerals are simple and sturdy, matching the same playful, slightly lopsided construction seen in the letters.
