A chunky, heavy sans with softly rounded forms and subtly wavy, uneven edges that create a hand-cut, organic feel. Counters are generally compact but open enough to stay readable at display sizes, and strokes maintain a consistent thickness with minimal contrast. The letterforms lean on simple geometry but introduce mild distortions—curved terminals, slightly pinched joins, and irregular shoulders—producing a lively, non-mechanical rhythm. Spacing and overall proportions feel intentionally varied across glyphs, reinforcing the animated, cutout character.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, event promos, playful packaging, and kid-oriented or casual retail applications. It also works well for logos or badges where a friendly, handcrafted vibe is desired; for longer passages it will be most comfortable at larger sizes due to its dense, bold color and animated rhythm.
The font reads as upbeat and mischievous, with a cartoon energy that feels welcoming rather than aggressive. Its wobble and softened shapes suggest craft, humor, and lighthearted emphasis—more “fun signage” than formal branding.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft, humorous personality, combining bold sans structure with intentionally irregular contours. The goal appears to be approachable display typography that feels hand-crafted and energetic while staying broadly legible.
Uppercase shapes are sturdy and emphatic, while lowercase forms keep the same weight with simplified, compact construction and prominent dots. Numerals follow the same playful distortion, with rounded bowls and slightly off-kilter curves that help maintain the hand-made tone across mixed text.
