A heavy, rounded sans with softly squared curves and subtly irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, but edges show gentle wobble and occasional flat spots, giving the letterforms a stamped or cut-paper feel. Counters are compact and often rounded-rectangular, and terminals tend to be blunt, producing a dense, poster-like texture. Overall spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the informal, analog rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, and sticker-style graphics where bold shape recognition matters. It also fits playful branding and children-oriented or casual retail design. For long passages, its dense color and compact counters are likely to work better with generous sizing and spacing.
The font feels warm, humorous, and approachable, with a craft-forward roughness that reads as human rather than mechanical. Its chunky silhouettes and bouncy shapes suggest casual fun—more cartoon signage than corporate minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, handmade voice—combining simple geometric foundations with intentionally imperfect outlines to evoke print, stamp, or cutout lettering in a contemporary display sans.
Uppercase forms are broad and blocky with softened corners, while lowercase maintains similarly stout proportions and simplified construction. Numerals match the same chunky, slightly irregular style, staying highly visible at display sizes.
