A heavy, chunky display face with lively, hand-drawn irregularity and subtly tapered stroke endings. Letterforms lean on rounded bowls and broad counters, but introduce crisp nicks, wedge-like joins, and flared terminals that create a cut-paper rhythm rather than strict geometric smoothness. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing an animated texture in words; diagonals and joins (notably in K, V, W, X, Y) feel carved and angular against otherwise soft, inflated shapes. The lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey construction and compact apertures, while numerals are wide and blocky with strong silhouettes for quick recognition.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact copy where its chunky silhouettes and lively rhythm can carry the message—posters, packaging, menus, kids-focused branding, and promotional graphics. It can also work for playful pull quotes or section headers, but its strong personality will dominate in long-form text.
The overall tone is energetic and mischievous, with a comic, storybook kind of confidence. Its deliberate wobble and chunky mass read as approachable and fun, while the pointed flares add a hint of theatrical flair and vintage poster attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a hand-crafted, showy display voice: big shapes for immediate impact, paired with controlled irregularities and flared cuts to feel drawn and characterful rather than strictly typographic.
In the sample text the weight stays visually consistent, but the changing widths and animated terminals create a strong, rhythmic “bounce” across lines. The boldness makes it robust at display sizes, while the distinctive cuts and flares become the primary identifying detail in longer passages.
