A compact, heavy sans with chunky strokes and softly rounded corners. The letterforms show noticeable handmade irregularity: verticals lean slightly, curves feel lumpy and organic, and widths vary from glyph to glyph, creating a bouncy rhythm. Counters are small and sometimes pinched, while terminals are blunt and simplified. The overall silhouette reads cleanly at display sizes, with a deliberately uneven, cutout-like finish rather than geometric precision.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and short bursts of text where personality is more important than strict uniformity. It fits playful branding, kid-oriented materials, product packaging, and casual signage, especially when set large enough for the tight counters and irregular contours to remain clear.
The font projects a cheerful, mischievous tone with a casual, cartoon-like energy. Its uneven shapes and buoyant proportions feel approachable and humorous, leaning more toward handcrafted signage and playful packaging than formal editorial typography.
The design appears intended as a bold, characterful sans that mimics hand-cut or hand-drawn lettering while remaining straightforward to set as type. Its controlled irregularities and chunky silhouettes aim to deliver instant warmth and humor in display contexts.
Uppercase forms are bold and blocky with simplified joins, while lowercase introduces more personality through asymmetrical bowls and quirky descenders (notably in letters like g, y, and q). Numerals follow the same chunky, informal construction, with rounded shapes and slightly off-kilter curves that keep the texture lively across lines of text.
