A heavy, rounded sans with a distinctly hand-cut, uneven edge. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with subtle wobble and small nicks that create an organic silhouette. Counters tend toward circular or oval shapes, terminals are softly blunted, and joins are simplified, giving letters a chunky, cutout feel. Overall spacing and proportions feel lively rather than strictly geometric, with small variations that reinforce the handmade rhythm.
Best suited for display applications where personality is the goal: posters, event promos, playful branding, packaging, and kid-oriented or craft-themed designs. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where its textured edges add emphasis without needing decorative ornaments.
The font conveys an upbeat, informal tone—friendly and a little mischievous. Its roughened contours and buoyant shapes read as crafty and approachable, suggesting humor and personality more than precision or seriousness.
Likely designed to mimic a bold hand-cut or stamped lettering look—prioritizing warmth, spontaneity, and visual charm. The consistent heaviness and rounded construction aim for strong impact while keeping the overall voice friendly and accessible.
In text, the bold color and rounded counters keep words cohesive, while the irregular outlines add texture that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. The numerals match the same playful, cut-paper energy, with simplified forms and generous weight that hold up in short strings and headlines.
