A heavy, soft-edged sans with chunky strokes and an intentionally irregular, hand-cut geometry. Curves are broad and inflated, while straight strokes often taper slightly or lean subtly, creating a bouncy, uneven rhythm across words. Counters are generally compact and rounded, and many joins look carved rather than constructed, with small nicks, angled cuts, and asymmetries that keep the silhouettes lively. Numerals and capitals follow the same bold, simplified approach, prioritizing strong black shapes over precision symmetry.
Best suited to display settings where personality matters: posters, event titles, playful branding, packaging, stickers, and short logo/wordmark work. It performs particularly well at medium to large sizes where the uneven cuts and rounded mass can be appreciated without compromising legibility.
The font reads friendly and mischievous, with a comic, cut-paper energy that feels informal and attention-grabbing. Its wobble and bulbous forms suggest humor and spontaneity rather than authority or restraint.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, comedic display voice with a handmade, cutout feel—prioritizing charm, punch, and distinctive silhouettes over typographic neutrality.
In continuous text the texture is dense and dark, and the irregular widths and quirky terminals become a defining part of the voice. The design favors distinctive silhouettes—especially in letters like a, g, k, s, and z—over uniformity, which helps it stand out but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes.
