A heavy, chunky sans with softly rounded outer corners and broad, low-contrast strokes. Many joins and terminals show slight angularity and wedge-like cuts, producing an intentionally irregular rhythm without losing overall solidity. Counters are generally small-to-moderate and the curves are full, giving letters a compact, weighty silhouette that holds together well in dense settings. The numerals and capitals maintain a consistent blocky construction, while lowercase forms keep the same stout, simplified geometry for a cohesive texture.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, packaging, and playful branding where a bold, characterful texture is desired. It also works well for short bursts of copy in children’s media, event graphics, and merchandise, especially when set with generous spacing and at larger sizes.
The tone is playful and slightly mischievous, like hand-cut lettering translated into a bold display style. Its bouncy shapes and subtle unevenness feel casual and approachable, with a retro cartoon or poster sensibility that reads as fun rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing sans with a handcrafted, cut-paper feel. By combining rounded massing with angular terminal cuts, it balances friendliness with quirky edge to create a distinctive display voice.
In text lines, the strong black mass creates a pronounced color on the page, and the small counters can close up at smaller sizes. The distinctive wedge terminals and gently irregular outlines add character that becomes more noticeable at larger display sizes.
