A heavy, soft-edged sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with rounded corners and subtly uneven curves that create a lively, slightly wobbly rhythm across words. Counters are generally open and simplified, and terminals tend to end bluntly rather than tapering, reinforcing the chunky, cutout feel. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a casual, crafted texture rather than a strictly geometric system.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, packaging, and playful branding where a handcrafted voice is desirable. It can also work for short signage or social graphics that need strong color and a friendly, quirky tone, rather than quiet long-form readability.
The overall tone is warm, informal, and humorous—more like painted signage or paper cut letters than a corporate sans. Its uneven cadence and friendly shapes suggest a human touch, making text feel approachable and a bit mischievous.
The design appears aimed at delivering a handmade, cutout-style sans that prioritizes personality and impact over strict regularity. It’s likely intended to evoke informal signage and playful editorial moments with a bold, approachable presence.
In the sample text, the heavy color and irregular spacing create strong presence at display sizes, while the animated shapes keep long lines from feeling rigid. Numerals match the same chunky construction and read as simple, bold forms suited to casual settings.
