A heavy, soft-cornered sans with chunky strokes and a gently irregular construction. The letterforms mix rounded bowls with slightly faceted, wedge-like terminals, creating a cut-paper feel rather than a purely geometric build. Curves are broad and compact, counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm has a subtle wobble that makes lines of text feel lively instead of rigid. Numerals follow the same big, simplified shapes and read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for display typography where a big, friendly voice is needed—posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and event graphics. It can also work for short bursts of copy in playful contexts, though the heavy texture and lively shapes are more effective at larger sizes than in dense text.
The font projects a cheerful, informal tone—bold and attention-grabbing without feeling aggressive. Its quirky, hand-cut energy and rounded massing lean toward fun, kid-friendly, and slightly retro styling, making it feel approachable and characterful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an approachable personality, using simplified, rounded forms and deliberately off-straight terminals to create a buoyant, hand-crafted look while keeping the sans structure familiar and legible.
Uppercase forms are stout and blocky with strong silhouettes, while lowercase remains similarly weighty and compact, preserving a consistent color across mixed-case settings. The irregularity is controlled and repeatable, suggesting intentional stylization rather than distressed texture.
