A chunky sans with heavy, almost monoline strokes and softly rounded corners. The outlines are intentionally irregular and slightly wavy, giving each glyph a hand-cut, uneven silhouette rather than a mechanically perfect geometry. Counters are compact and rounded, joins are blunt, and terminals tend to finish with subtly angled, lumpy cuts. Overall spacing and shapes feel lively and inconsistent by design, creating a distinctive, characterful texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display applications where personality is an asset: posters, attention-grabbing headlines, playful packaging, and branding for casual or youth-oriented projects. It works well for short bursts of copy, titles, stickers, and social graphics where the uneven, hand-made feel can be a key part of the visual identity.
The font projects a playful, mischievous tone—more cartoon title card than corporate signage. Its off-kilter construction and soft edges read as approachable and comedic, with a DIY, cut-paper charm that brings energy to short phrases and display settings.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-drawn or hand-cut look while staying within a bold sans framework. By building in controlled irregularity and soft, chunky shapes, it prioritizes warmth and humor over strict typographic neutrality, aiming to stand out immediately in display use.
In text lines the rhythm is intentionally bouncy, with noticeable per-letter variation that adds personality but can also introduce visual noise at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs. Numerals share the same chunky, rounded, slightly skewed construction, helping maintain a cohesive voice across headings and simple figure use.
