A compact, heavy sans with softly rounded geometry and noticeably irregular outlines. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, but the letterforms intentionally wobble: bowls tilt, terminals vary in angle, and verticals often lean slightly, creating a lively, hand-cut feel. Curves are generous and slightly asymmetric, counters stay open, and spacing feels energetic rather than strictly uniform, giving lines a buoyant rhythm in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its personality can carry the message—headlines, posters, packaging, playful branding, and social graphics. It can work for brief text blocks when set with generous leading, but its irregularity and heavy color are most effective when used to add character rather than to disappear.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a whimsical, slightly mischievous character. Its uneven stance and chunky shapes read as approachable and human, evoking hand-lettered signage or cut-paper lettering rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable voice with a hand-made imperfection, trading strict typographic regularity for charm and motion. It emphasizes quick recognition and friendly impact, making it well-suited to lighthearted, informal communication.
Uppercase forms are assertive and compact, while the lowercase maintains clear, simple constructions that keep words readable despite the intentional wobble. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded language and feel display-forward, with a playful, cartoonish presence.
