A heavy, monoline sans with chunky strokes and softly rounded outer curves, contrasted by occasional sharp, wedge-like corners and notched joins. The letterforms show intentional irregularity: strokes lean and swell subtly, curves feel slightly off-round, and terminals often look cut or chipped rather than cleanly finished. Counters are generally open and simple, with a lively baseline rhythm and uneven internal angles that create a handmade, cut-paper silhouette. The overall texture is dense and bold, but with enough openness in key shapes to keep words readable at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding that benefits from a bold, approachable voice. It also fits children’s media, event graphics, and short, punchy statements where the irregular shapes can be appreciated at larger sizes rather than extended text.
The font reads as playful and mischievous, with a craft-forward, homemade energy that suggests cutout lettering or a cartoon title card. Its bouncy rhythm and uneven detailing give it personality and warmth rather than strict neutrality, making it feel informal and expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, handcrafted attitude—combining robust sans construction with deliberately imperfect contours to create a distinctive, informal display style.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same chunky construction and irregular finishing, producing a consistent, characterful voice across mixed-case settings. Numerals match the weight and wobble, with rounded forms and occasional angular nicks that reinforce the hand-cut impression.
