A chunky sans with heavy, rounded forms and subtly irregular geometry that gives each glyph a hand-cut, slightly wobbly feel. Strokes are broadly uniform but frequently end in angled, wedge-like cuts, producing a lively rhythm across words. Counters are compact and sturdy, apertures tend to be tight, and curves are full and inflated, especially in round letters and numerals. The overall construction keeps upright posture while allowing mild width variation and asymmetry for character and motion.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic copy where its heavy color and quirky rhythm can do the work of attracting attention. It can also support playful branding elements such as packaging, event graphics, and logo wordmarks that want a friendly, cartoon-leaning voice. For longer reading passages, it’s likely most effective in larger sizes and with generous spacing.
The font reads as upbeat and informal, with a boisterous, poster-ready energy. Its uneven, carved-looking terminals and bouncy silhouettes suggest humor and approachability rather than precision or restraint. The tone fits playful messaging and attention-grabbing display use where personality is more important than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, approachable display sans with a deliberately imperfect, hand-shaped quality. By pairing robust weight with angled terminal cuts and slight irregularity, it aims to feel energetic and memorable while remaining straightforward to read at display sizes.
Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey, simplified shapes with prominent dots and compact bowls, reinforcing a casual, contemporary feel. Numerals are bold and blocky with rounded mass, staying consistent with the inflated letterforms and maintaining strong presence in mixed text.
