A compact, heavy sans with subtly uneven contours and a hand-cut feel. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with rounded joins and slightly wobbly edges that create a lively, imperfect silhouette. Proportions are tight and condensed overall, while individual letters vary in width and stance, producing an intentionally irregular rhythm. Terminals tend to be blunt and softly rounded, counters are small but open enough for display use, and the lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms with a straightforward, uncalligraphic construction.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headline typography, packaging callouts, and playful branding where a hand-made, energetic texture is desirable. It can work for short paragraphs at larger sizes in informal contexts, but its condensed proportions and irregular rhythm are most effective in titles, labels, and attention-grabbing phrases.
The font reads as playful and informal, with a friendly, slightly mischievous personality. Its uneven rhythm and chunky shapes evoke comic lettering, craft signage, and a retro novelty tone rather than a neutral system sans.
The design appears intended to mimic bold, hand-drawn or cut-paper lettering while keeping a clean sans foundation. Its goal is to deliver strong visual impact with approachable character, using controlled irregularities to avoid a mechanical, uniform look.
The capitals maintain a tall, compact presence, while the lowercase introduces more bounce and asymmetry, especially in curved letters. Numerals follow the same chunky, simplified construction and feel consistent with the letterforms, supporting short bursts of text where character and impact matter more than strict regularity.
