A heavy, rounded sans with simplified geometry and subtly irregular outlines that feel hand-shaped rather than mathematically rigid. Strokes are thick and even, with soft corners and gently swollen curves; terminals are mostly blunt, and counters tend toward circular or oval forms. Many glyphs show small angular nicks and varied edge angles, creating a lively, cutout-like texture while maintaining clear silhouettes and strong color on the page.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and bold brand marks where its playful irregularity can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text (tags, callouts, captions) when a friendly, handmade feel is desired, but its dense weight and lively shapes are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a childlike, comic energy. Its uneven rhythm and chunky forms suggest a handcrafted, approachable voice suited to lighthearted messaging rather than strict corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an approachable, handcrafted character—combining a sturdy, sans foundation with deliberate irregularities for charm and motion. It aims to feel fun and memorable, like lettering cut from paper or shaped by hand for expressive branding and titling.
The uppercase reads especially bold and poster-ready, while the lowercase keeps the same chunky construction for consistent texture in text. Numerals and capitals share a sturdy, sign-like presence, and the slight irregularities add personality without collapsing legibility at display sizes.
