A heavy, compact sans with rounded corners and deliberately irregular outlines. Strokes are low-contrast and mostly monoline, but the letterforms wobble subtly as if cut from paper or drawn with a soft marker, creating a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are generally tight and simplified, terminals are blunt, and curves lean toward squarish rounds. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, emphasizing an informal, characterful texture in text.
Best used at display sizes where its irregular edges and bouncy rhythm can be appreciated—posters, headlines, short brand phrases, packaging, and playful signage. It can work for attention-grabbing captions or social graphics, but the dense counters and quirky proportions make it less suitable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a handmade, cartoon-title energy. Its uneven stance and chunky silhouettes read as approachable and humorous rather than formal or technical, making it feel suited to lighthearted, kid-friendly, or novelty-driven messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, friendly display voice with a handmade, imperfect finish—prioritizing personality and impact over strict geometric regularity. Its construction suggests a deliberate move toward whimsical, novelty sans forms for expressive titles and branding accents.
Uppercase forms are bold and blocky, while lowercase keeps the same chunky construction with a single-storey feel where applicable and simple, sturdy shapes. Numerals match the same softened, slightly lopsided geometry, maintaining consistency across display settings.
