A chunky, heavy sans with rounded corners and an intentionally uneven, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and fairly monoline, with slightly wavy sides and subtly skewed joins that create a lively, irregular rhythm across words. Counters tend to be small and soft-edged, and the overall construction favors simplified, blocky shapes over strict geometry. The lowercase has sturdy, compact forms with short extenders, while capitals read as broad, poster-like blocks; numerals follow the same buoyant, slightly lopsided massing.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and short promotional copy where a bold, playful voice is needed. It works especially well for children’s media, event graphics, craft-themed branding, and social assets that benefit from an informal, hand-made feel. Use at medium-to-large sizes for maximum legibility and impact.
The font conveys an energetic, humorous tone—more like cut-paper lettering or cartoon titling than sober signage. Its wobble and exaggerated weight feel friendly and informal, lending a spontaneous, handmade character that suggests play, motion, and personality.
Likely designed as a display face that prioritizes character and immediacy over strict typographic neutrality, using controlled irregularity and heavy, rounded forms to create a fun, attention-grabbing presence.
Spacing appears open enough to keep the dense black shapes from clogging, but the small counters and heavy massing can reduce clarity at small sizes. The irregularity is consistent rather than random, giving text a cohesive “bouncy” texture across lines.
