A heavy, compact sans with broad proportions and softly faceted, uneven contours that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes are thick and largely monoline, with subtly wobbly edges and irregular internal counters that vary from glyph to glyph. Terminals tend toward blunt, slightly angled ends, and curves are built from rounded forms with occasional flattened spots, producing a lumpy, organic rhythm. Spacing and widths are inconsistent in a deliberate way, giving words a bouncy silhouette while remaining solid and highly visible.
Best suited to display sizes such as posters, headlines, labels, and packaging where the bold, hand-cut texture can be appreciated. It works well for playful branding, event flyers, and kid-oriented or novelty themes, and can also serve as a punchy accent font alongside a more neutral text face.
The overall tone is mischievous and friendly, with a DIY, cut-paper energy that reads as casual and fun rather than formal. Its chunky shapes and irregularities evoke retro cartoon titling and playful branding, emphasizing personality over precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, friendly display voice with an intentionally imperfect, handcrafted finish. By combining thick strokes with uneven geometry and varied widths, it aims to feel lively and approachable while staying highly legible at larger sizes.
In text settings, the dark color and uneven counters create a strong, tactile texture; the distinctive shapes help short words stand out, while longer paragraphs can feel dense. Numerals match the same blobby, hand-rendered logic, supporting attention-grabbing uses where character is prioritized.
