A compact, heavy sans with deliberately uneven geometry and a lively, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with frequent wedge-like terminals and slightly flared ends that make verticals feel subtly bowed. Counters are small and rounded, and many curves show gentle asymmetry, giving the alphabet an organic, cut-paper consistency rather than a rigid mechanical build. The lowercase is compact with short extenders, and the numerals follow the same chunky, slightly quirky construction for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited for display typography where its chunky shapes and irregular rhythm can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event promos, playful branding, and packaging. It can also work for short bursts of copy (taglines, labels, UI badges) when a friendly, handcrafted voice is desired.
The overall tone is playful and idiosyncratic, with a cheerful, retro handmade energy. Its irregularities read as intentional personality—friendly and informal rather than strict or corporate—making it feel approachable and characterful.
The design appears intended to capture a handmade, cut-out sans look with bold impact and an intentionally imperfect rhythm. It prioritizes personality and visual punch over neutrality, aiming to feel approachable, fun, and distinctive in contemporary display settings.
In running text the design creates a strong, dark typographic color and a bouncy baseline impression, especially noticeable in rounded letters and diagonals. The wide, open joins in letters like W/M and the simplified, stout forms help maintain clarity at display sizes while preserving the quirky silhouette.
