A heavy, blocky display face with rounded shoulders and softly irregular, hand-drawn edges. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with occasional pinched corners and bulb-like terminals that give the outlines a cutout or stamped feel. The letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with tight interior counters and a slightly uneven rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals match the same chunky, sculpted silhouette, favoring solid mass over fine detail.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, event titles, product packaging, and playful branding. It also works well for stickers, labels, and social graphics where a bold, friendly voice is needed. For longer paragraphs, it performs better in larger sizes with extra spacing.
The overall tone is playful and characterful, with a nostalgic, cartoon-like warmth. Its imperfect contours and bouncy shapes read as friendly and informal rather than precise or corporate. The texture suggests handmade print—confident, loud, and a little mischievous.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-printed, cut-paper/stamp-like look with strong silhouettes and approachable irregularity. Its emphasis is on personality and visual punch, prioritizing expressive shapes over typographic neutrality.
At larger sizes the distinctive nicks, notches, and rounded corners become a defining texture, while in dense settings the tight counters and weight can start to close up. The spacing and widths vary enough to add personality, but it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing to keep word shapes clear.
