A heavy, rounded sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-cut look. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with soft corners and subtly wobbly outlines that create a lively texture. Counters are compact and sometimes slightly pinched, while curves are bulbous and generously filled, giving the letters a dense, chunky silhouette. Spacing and sidebearings feel uneven in a deliberate way, contributing to a casual rhythm in text while remaining broadly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its chunky forms and handmade texture can be appreciated—posters, headers, product packaging, stickers, and playful branding. It can work for children’s materials and casual editorial callouts, but the dense shapes and irregular rhythm are likely to feel busy at small sizes or in long passages.
The overall tone is playful and informal, like marker lettering or cut-paper shapes. Its uneven edges and bouncy proportions suggest a handcrafted, kid-friendly personality with a slightly mischievous, cartoonish energy.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, friendly sans impression with a handcrafted twist—prioritizing personality and visual impact over strict geometric uniformity. The irregular outlines and soft terminals aim to add warmth and humor while keeping familiar, simple letter structures.
The design’s visual character comes more from outline wobble and softened geometry than from contrast or sharp terminals, so it reads as bold and approachable rather than aggressive. In longer lines, the irregularity becomes a prominent texture, making the font feel expressive and attention-grabbing.
