A chunky, hand-drawn display face with compact proportions, rounded corners, and softly irregular contours. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, creating dense black letterforms and small, rounded counters. The baseline and sidebearings feel slightly uneven, giving the alphabet a lively, stamped-by-hand rhythm; diagonals and curves are simplified and slightly lumpy rather than geometric. Lowercase forms are simple and upright, with short extenders and single-storey constructions, and the numerals follow the same blocky, friendly silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, splashy headlines, product packaging, labels, stickers, and playful branding. It also works well for children’s materials and casual event graphics where a friendly, handmade voice is desired.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a casual, homemade energy that reads more like painted signage or cut-paper lettering than a formal type system. Its irregularities add humor and warmth, making text feel conversational and kid-friendly.
Designed to deliver an informal, attention-grabbing look that feels hand-rendered and personable, prioritizing character and impact over precision. The consistent heaviness and simplified shapes suggest an aim for bold readability in display contexts with a fun, approachable attitude.
The heavy weight and compact spacing produce strong color on the page, while the softened shapes keep it from feeling harsh. At small sizes the tight counters and dense texture may reduce clarity, but at larger sizes it becomes a confident, characterful headline style.
