A chunky, heavy sans with rounded corners and an intentionally uneven, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes stay broadly consistent but edges wobble and terminals flare subtly, creating a lively, slightly skewed rhythm across words. Curves are full and bulbous (notably in C/O/S), while many straight stems and arms lean or taper, producing a casual, cut-paper feel. Counters are generally generous for the weight, and the overall spacing reads compact but readable, especially in short phrases and headlines.
Best suited to display applications where personality is the goal: posters, punchy headlines, playful branding, packaging, and event promotions. It also works well for short bursts of text in children’s content or casual signage, but its strong texture can become busy in long-form reading.
The font projects a cheerful, mischievous tone—more comic and DIY than formal. Its irregular bounce and soft geometry evoke craft signage, children’s media, and lighthearted entertainment, with a hint of mid-century cartoon title energy.
The design appears intended to deliver an upbeat, approachable display voice by combining heavy stroke mass with deliberately imperfect, hand-made outlines. The goal is instant character and memorability rather than strict geometric precision.
Capitals and lowercase share the same playful wobble, keeping texture consistent in mixed-case settings. Numerals are bold and characterful, matching the exaggerated curves and flattened terminals seen in the letters, which helps maintain a cohesive voice in display copy.
