A compact, heavy sans with a deliberately irregular, hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear with mild, occasional tapering, and terminals tend to look blunt or slightly angled. The letterforms sit upright but wobble subtly in width and stance, creating a bouncy rhythm across words. Counters are small-to-medium and often asymmetric (notably in rounded letters and bowls), while diagonals (K, V, W, X) feel chiseled and uneven in a way that reads intentional rather than accidental. Figures are sturdy and simplified, matching the overall chunky silhouette.
Best suited to short-form display work where personality is the priority: posters, headlines, event flyers, playful packaging, labels, stickers, and social graphics. It can work for children’s or casual lifestyle branding and for punchy pull quotes, but is less appropriate for long reading passages where its irregular rhythm and dense texture could become tiring.
The overall tone is friendly and mischievous, with a cartoon-like informality that suggests hand lettering or cut-paper signage. Its uneven widths and slightly off-kilter shapes add personality and humor, giving text a lively, approachable voice rather than a polished corporate one.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a handcrafted, slightly eccentric construction. By embracing irregularity in widths and curves while keeping a simple sans skeleton, it aims to feel spontaneous and fun without becoming illegible.
Spacing appears relatively tight and the heavy weight produces strong word shapes; at smaller sizes the smaller counters may close up. The lowercase shows a compact proportion with short ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a dense, punchy texture in paragraph-like settings.
