A heavy, soft-edged sans with broad strokes and gently rounded corners throughout. The letterforms show a subtly irregular, hand-cut rhythm: verticals lean slightly, curves feel springy, and terminals often look lightly flattened rather than crisply geometric. Counters are compact and sturdy, and several glyphs adopt simplified, blocky constructions that prioritize impact over strict uniformity. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from character to character, adding a lively texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display typography where weight and personality are assets—posters, headlines, product packaging, social graphics, and playful branding. It also works well for short callouts, labels, and titles where a friendly, high-impact look is desired.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a bold, cutout-like energy that reads as approachable rather than corporate. Its slightly quirky inconsistencies give it a handcrafted, comic-adjacent personality suited to attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence with a warm, handmade feel, using rounded, simplified shapes and intentionally uneven rhythm to create a distinctive, approachable display voice.
At larger sizes the quirky angles and softened joins become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and thick joins can make forms feel dense. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded build, keeping the voice consistent across display settings.
