A heavy, compact sans with softly rounded corners and an intentionally uneven, hand-cut feel. Strokes are blunt and monolinear, with subtle wobble and off-axis terminals that create a lively rhythm rather than strict geometric regularity. Counters are generally open and simple, and curves are broad and inflated, giving letters a chunky silhouette. Widths and sidebearings vary noticeably across glyphs, contributing to an irregular, animated texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, bold statements: posters, product packaging, playful branding, event graphics, stickers, and splashy title treatments. It also works well for punchy pull quotes or social graphics where character matters more than typographic neutrality.
The overall tone is warm, goofy, and approachable—more like cut-paper lettering or marker-drawn signage than a corporate sans. Its bouncy shapes and slightly inconsistent posture suggest humor and informality, making it feel energetic and kid-friendly without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum personality and impact through thick, soft-edged forms and a deliberately imperfect rhythm. It prioritizes charm and immediacy—like hand-made display lettering—over strict consistency, aiming to feel fun, approachable, and attention-grabbing in headlines.
Uppercase forms read as headline-forward and poster-like, while the lowercase keeps the same chunky construction for a consistent voice. Numerals follow the same rounded, weighty style and remain highly graphic at larger sizes, with a deliberately playful, not strictly typographic, polish.
