A chunky, heavy sans with softly rounded corners and subtly uneven stroke edges that give it a handmade, cutout-like feel. Letterforms lean on simple geometric cores, but their outlines wobble slightly, producing an organic rhythm and varied texture across a line. Counters are generally open and generously sized for the weight, with compact joins and blunt terminals. The overall color is dense and punchy, while the spacing and shape irregularities keep it from feeling rigid or mechanical.
Best suited to headlines, short phrases, and branding moments where a fun, friendly voice is desired—posters, packaging, kid-oriented materials, game/UI labels, and social graphics. It can work in short blocks of text at larger sizes, but its strong personality and uneven rhythm make it most effective as a display face rather than for dense, small-size reading.
The font projects an upbeat, mischievous tone—casual and approachable rather than formal. Its uneven, bouncy silhouettes suggest humor and informality, making text feel conversational and lively. The overall impression sits firmly in a playful display space, with a handcrafted charm.
The design appears intended to deliver an informal, attention-grabbing sans with a handcrafted vibe—combining bold, simple forms with controlled irregularity to feel lively and approachable. It prioritizes character and impact over strict geometric precision, aiming for a playful display presence.
Capitals read as sturdy blocks with softened corners, while the lowercase adds extra personality through more varied silhouettes and widths. Numerals match the same bold, rounded construction, staying highly prominent and poster-friendly. The distinctive texture becomes more noticeable in longer passages, where the irregularity reads as intentional character rather than distortion.
