A heavy, soft-edged sans with subtly irregular contours and a lively, hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with rounded joins and corners that keep forms friendly rather than rigid. Many characters show gentle wobble, angled terminals, and slightly asymmetric bowls, creating an intentionally imperfect rhythm. Counters stay open and legible, while the overall texture reads dense and compact due to the weight and reduced interior space.
Best suited to display applications where personality is a priority: posters, headlines, product packaging, event graphics, and branding that wants a friendly, informal voice. It can also work for short bursts of text such as callouts, labels, and social graphics, where the bouncy rhythm enhances emphasis.
The tone is upbeat and humorous, with a casual, off-kilter energy that feels human and spontaneous. Its uneven rhythm and chunky silhouettes suggest play, approachability, and a mild sense of mischief rather than corporate neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with deliberate irregularity—balancing simple sans construction with hand-made quirks to feel energetic and fun. The goal appears to be high impact at larger sizes while retaining clear, uncomplicated letterforms.
The uppercase set looks assertive and poster-like, while the lowercase adds extra character through uneven verticals and rounded, simplified shapes. Numerals are bold and graphic, matching the same hand-made wobble and maintaining strong presence in display settings.
