A chunky sans with subtly irregular outlines and a lively, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with gently tapered joins and occasional wedge-like terminals that keep the texture moving across a line. Counters are generally open and rounded, while curves and diagonals lean slightly in their geometry, giving letters a mild wobble that feels intentional rather than sloppy. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with simple forms and round dots, and the numerals are bold, highly legible shapes with a slightly caricatured weight distribution.
Best suited for display roles such as posters, packaging, event graphics, and brand headlines where personality is a priority. It also works well for playful editorial callouts, children’s-oriented materials, and short, punchy UI or social graphics where high contrast and a warm voice help text stand out.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a crafty, cut-paper personality that reads as approachable and slightly mischievous. Its unevenness adds warmth and human character, making text feel conversational and animated rather than purely functional.
Likely designed to provide a bold, friendly display sans that mimics hand-cut or hand-drawn construction while preserving clear, readable letterforms. The controlled irregularity and stroke modulation appear intended to inject energy and charm into headlines without sacrificing recognizability.
The font maintains clear silhouettes despite its irregularity, and the heavier color makes it hold up well in short bursts of text. The bouncy baseline feel and varied stroke emphasis create a strong display texture that becomes a defining stylistic feature at larger sizes.
