A compact sans with heavy, monolinear strokes and noticeably irregular, hand-cut geometry. Curves and verticals subtly wobble, and many terminals end with soft, slightly flared or tapered edges rather than crisp mechanical cuts. Counters are small and rounded, and the overall rhythm is uneven in an intentional way, giving the alphabet a lively texture across both uppercase and lowercase. Figures follow the same chunky construction, with simplified shapes and a slightly bouncy stance that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, short blurbs, and display typography where its lively, handmade texture can be appreciated. It can work well for playful branding, packaging, event posters, and children-oriented or craft-themed materials. For longer passages, it is most comfortable at larger sizes where the irregularities read as charm rather than noise.
The tone is informal and characterful, like lettering made with a marker or cut paper. Its slight unevenness and softened endings make it feel approachable and humorous rather than technical or corporate. The overall impression is energetic and lighthearted, suited to designs that benefit from a human touch.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly sans voice with deliberate imperfections that evoke hand lettering. Its goal seems to be standout personality and warmth, offering an alternative to rigid geometric or neutral grotesque styles.
In text, the irregular stroke endings and varied character silhouettes create a strong visual grain, especially in mixed-case settings. The forms remain legible, but the personality is prominent, so it tends to attract attention and set a distinct mood.
