A chunky, soft-edged sans with an intentionally uneven, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with rounded corners and subtly wobbly verticals that give each glyph a lively, imperfect outline. Counters are compact and often asymmetrical, and the overall rhythm feels bouncy rather than strictly mechanical. Uppercase forms are simple and blocky, while lowercase letters show more personality through lopsided bowls, quirky terminals, and slightly varied widths.
Best used for short display copy where personality is more important than strict readability—posters, packaging, stickers, social graphics, and headlines. It can also work well for kids-focused materials or casual event promos, especially when paired with a simpler companion text face for body copy.
The font reads as cheerful and informal, with a cartoon-like warmth that suggests handcrafted signage or cut-paper lettering. Its irregular contours and buoyant spacing create a humorous, approachable tone suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing sans with a handcrafted, imperfect finish—prioritizing character and friendliness over precision, and evoking playful sign-lettering and cartoon titling.
At smaller sizes the dense black shapes and tight counters can reduce clarity, while at display sizes the deliberate wobble and organic edges become a key stylistic feature. Numerals match the same heavy, rounded construction and maintain the playful, uneven texture across lines of text.
