A chunky, display-oriented sans with deliberately irregular geometry and a hand-cut feel. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, but the outlines show subtle wobble and uneven joins that create lively texture. Many terminals end in angled, wedge-like cuts, and several forms introduce unexpected notches or asymmetric curves, producing a slightly carved or stamped impression. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with a bouncy baseline rhythm and compact counters that stay readable at larger sizes.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, titles, and branding where its lively texture can be a feature. It can also work well for packaging, event promotions, and playful book or game cover typography, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the irregular cuts remain clear.
The overall tone is mischievous and informal, with a whimsical, storybook energy. Its uneven, cut-paper character feels crafted rather than mechanical, giving text a festive, slightly gothic-leaning playfulness without becoming ornate.
This design appears intended to deliver a crafted, cut-out look with bold presence and a whimsical rhythm. The irregular outlines and wedge terminals suggest a goal of adding personality and movement to simple sans structures, prioritizing character and impact in short texts.
Capitals are assertive and blocky, while lowercase letters keep the same quirky construction and angular terminal logic. Numerals follow the same hand-cut motif, with distinctive bends and wedges that emphasize personality over strict regularity. In longer settings the strong texture becomes a key feature, so spacing and line breaks benefit from generous room.
