A very heavy, soft-cornered sans with slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes stay largely monolinear, but terminals and joins show subtle wobble and asymmetry that creates a lively rhythm. Counters are generally open and rounded, with compact apertures and sturdy bowls; the overall silhouette feels chunky and buoyant rather than rigidly constructed. Width varies noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, short slogans, and branding moments where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It can work well on packaging, signage, and promotional graphics, especially when paired with simpler supporting text to balance its active texture.
The tone is upbeat and characterful, with a crafty, cut-paper energy that reads as fun rather than formal. Its exaggerated weight and gentle irregularities give it a playful, slightly retro personality suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with an approachable, handcrafted feel—combining a solid, monolinear sans foundation with deliberate irregularities to create warmth and personality in display typography.
The sample text shows strong color and high impact at larger sizes, with an intentionally uneven cadence across words. Letterforms remain upright and stable, but the micro-variations in angles and curve tension add motion that can become busy in dense settings.
