A compact, heavy sans with soft, rounded terminals and an intentionally uneven, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes keep a largely even thickness, while small shifts in width and subtle wobble in verticals and curves create a lively texture. Counters are simple and fairly open for the width, with rounded bowls (o, e, p) and a single-storey a and g that lean toward a casual, hand-lettered construction. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with gently bowed sides, and the numerals follow the same chunky, slightly irregular rhythm.
Works best for short to medium display copy such as posters, playful branding, packaging, book covers, and children-oriented materials. It can also suit comic-style captions or informal UI labels when a friendly, handmade tone is desired, but it’s less suited to long-form reading where the dense, narrow texture may feel heavy.
The overall tone is warm, informal, and slightly mischievous, like marker lettering or cut-paper signage. Its uneven edges and springy proportions give it a human, approachable character that reads more fun than formal.
The design appears intended to emulate a bold, hand-rendered sans with a deliberately imperfect outline, prioritizing personality and approachability over strict geometric precision. Its consistent weight and rounded shaping aim to keep the forms clear while preserving a lively, human-made rhythm.
Text settings show a dark, continuous color with noticeable per-glyph individuality, making it feel crafted rather than mechanical. The narrow set and tight interior shapes can make long passages feel dense, but it holds up well at display sizes where the quirky details are clear.
