A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and subtly irregular contours that create a hand-cut, wobbly rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with compact counters and slightly pinched joins that add character without becoming script-like. The uppercase leans toward squat, blocky proportions, while the lowercase keeps simple single-storey forms (notably a and g) and round dots on i/j. Overall spacing feels open and buoyant, with letterforms that vary slightly in silhouette to emphasize an organic, cutout look.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, playful branding, kids’ materials, packaging, and headline typography where a friendly, attention-grabbing texture is desired. It can also work for logos or badges that benefit from an informal, handmade presence.
The font reads as cheerful and informal, with a comic, kid-friendly tone. Its bouncy shapes and chunky weight give it a bold voice that feels approachable, a little goofy, and distinctly retro in spirit.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum personality and warmth through thick, rounded forms and controlled irregularity, echoing cut-paper or cartoon display lettering. It prioritizes expressive silhouettes and a lively rhythm for display use rather than neutral, text-first restraint.
The numerals are similarly chunky and rounded, with simplified forms and strong silhouettes that favor impact over precision. Curves and terminals often appear slightly tilted or uneven, reinforcing the handmade feel in continuous text.
