A compact, heavy sans with deliberately irregular, hand-made geometry. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with subtle waviness and small variations in terminal shaping that create a cut-paper or carved feel. Counters tend to be tight and rounded (notably in O, P, R, and the numerals), and curves are slightly lopsided, giving the alphabet a lively rhythm. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with occasional asymmetric joints and angled shoulders that keep the texture energetic rather than strictly mechanical.
Best suited for short-form display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and brand marks where a friendly, handmade texture is desirable. It can also work for playful editorial callouts or children-focused materials, but the dense counters and heavy color make it less comfortable for long body text.
The overall tone is upbeat and characterful, leaning toward a crafty, informal voice. Its uneven edges and bouncy shapes read as approachable and humorous, with a nostalgic, poster-like charm rather than a corporate or technical mood.
The design appears intended to emulate an imperfect, hand-cut sans: bold enough for instant visibility, but softened by rounded forms and uneven detailing. It prioritizes personality and rhythm over strict uniformity, aiming to feel human and animated in use.
In text, the dark color and compact apertures create strong impact and a dense typographic gray. Distinctive silhouettes (especially in the uppercase and numerals) aid recognition at display sizes, while the intentionally irregular construction becomes more prominent as size increases.
