A chunky display sans with soft, rounded counters and a deliberately uneven silhouette. Strokes are heavy with mild-to-moderate thick–thin modulation, and many glyphs show slightly tilted or skewed terminals that create a cut-paper feel. Proportions vary from letter to letter, with wide, bulbous rounds (O, Q) contrasted by narrow, blocky verticals (I, l), producing a lively, irregular rhythm. The lowercase is compact with simple, single-storey forms, while figures are bold and sculpted, with distinctive shapes and varying widths that read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, splashy packaging, event graphics, and playful branding. It can also work well for children’s materials, comic-style captions, and titles where a lively, handmade texture is desired rather than a smooth, neutral reading rhythm.
The overall tone is humorous and energetic, suggesting hand-made signage and cartoon title lettering. Its wobble and exaggerated forms feel friendly, a little mischievous, and intentionally imperfect, creating an informal, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with a deliberately irregular, handcrafted look. By combining chunky forms with subtle contrast and uneven geometry, it aims to feel spontaneous and characterful in large-scale typography.
Spacing and letterfit appear intentionally loose and uneven to enhance the bouncy texture in setting. Angular notches and asymmetrical joins show up in several glyphs, adding to the quirky, hand-cut character without introducing true serifs.
