A heavy, soft-cornered sans with intentionally irregular geometry and a hand-cut feel. Strokes stay mostly even, but terminals and joins show subtle wobble and asymmetric shaping that creates a lively rhythm. Counters are generally open and rounded; curves are slightly squarish in places, and several letters show angled cuts or tapered corners. The lowercase leans toward single-storey, simplified constructions, while numerals are compact and sturdy, matching the broad proportions and casual texture.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, packaging, signage, and brand marks that benefit from an approachable, playful tone. It can also work for short blurbs or pull quotes where a handmade, upbeat texture is desirable, especially at larger sizes where the irregular detailing stays clear.
The overall tone is warm and humorous, with a bouncy, slightly off-kilter personality that reads as handmade rather than mechanical. Its uneven details and chunky silhouettes suggest a whimsical, retro-leaning voice suited to lighthearted messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a friendly, handcrafted sans voice with deliberate imperfections—combining bold, simple letterforms with quirky cuts and rounded massing to stand out in expressive display settings.
The texture becomes more apparent in text, where the varied letter shapes and inconsistent edge angles create an animated line. The design prioritizes character over strict regularity, making it visually engaging at display sizes.
