A chunky, rounded sans with a lively, hand-cut feel and intentionally uneven rhythm. Strokes show gentle, visible modulation, with weight shifting through curves and joins rather than staying monoline. Counters are compact and often circular, terminals are blunted, and many stems lean or bow slightly, creating a wavy texture across words. Caps are stout and simple, while lowercase forms keep a full, bubble-like silhouette with occasional quirky asymmetry in shoulders and bowls.
Best suited for short, high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, playful branding, packaging, and event graphics where personality is more important than typographic neutrality. It can work well in logos or title treatments, and in short callouts where the bouncy rhythm is an asset. For longer passages, its heavy color and irregular cadence are likely to feel busy unless used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, like a children’s-book or comic display face. Its bouncy spacing and irregularities read as informal and human, adding charm and humor rather than precision. The heavy black presence gives it strong energy while the rounded construction keeps it approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with a handcrafted, slightly chaotic texture. Its rounded geometry, softened terminals, and subtle contrast aim to keep the forms approachable while the uneven stance adds humor and motion.
In the sample text, the font creates a strong, dark color and a distinctly uneven baseline that becomes part of the style. The numerals match the same chunky, softened construction, staying legible but characterful. At smaller sizes the dense shapes and compact counters may benefit from extra tracking to preserve clarity.
