A heavy, blocky sans with irregular, hand-shaped contours and subtly uneven sides that create a lively, cutout-like texture. Strokes keep a consistent thickness with blunt terminals, while corners shift between squared and slightly chamfered, giving many forms a faceted silhouette. Proportions feel compact and tall, with simplified counters and occasional asymmetries that emphasize a handmade rhythm across words and lines. Numerals and letters share the same chunky construction, producing strong color and clear presence at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where its chunky shapes and handmade texture can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging, event graphics, labels, and logo wordmarks that want an informal, craft-forward look. For long reading or small UI text, the heavy color and irregular contours are likely to feel busy.
The overall tone is playful and slightly unruly, like lettering cut from paper or stamped with a worn template. Its quirky inconsistencies read as friendly and energetic rather than formal, lending a casual, character-driven voice. The texture evokes a retro craft sensibility with a bold, attention-grabbing attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handcrafted sans voice with deliberate irregularity for warmth and personality. It prioritizes visual impact and a tactile, cutout-like texture over strict geometric consistency, aiming for distinctive display typography that feels approachable and fun.
The rhythm is intentionally uneven: curves are somewhat squared-off and bowls can feel slightly pinched, which adds personality but can reduce clarity at small sizes. In the sample text, the dense weight and lively outlines create a strong headline “bounce,” especially in mixed-case settings where ascenders and descenders add extra movement.
