A heavy, chunky sans with intentionally irregular outlines and a lively, shifting baseline feel. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with rounded shoulders and softened corners that keep the black shapes cohesive even in tight counters. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, and many characters appear slightly tilted or “cut” at angles, creating a hand-made, uneven rhythm. The lowercase is compact with stout stems and small, simple terminals; the numerals are similarly weighty and informal, favoring bold silhouettes over strict geometric consistency.
Well suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, event promos, product packaging, toy and game branding, stickers, and playful editorial headings. It can work for pull quotes or captions when set with ample tracking and comfortable leading, but it is most effective as a display face.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a cut-paper or comic sign-painting energy. Its exaggerated weight and wobbly rhythm make it feel casual and kid-friendly rather than formal or technical.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum personality and visual punch through bold, simplified shapes and controlled irregularity. The deliberate unevenness suggests an intention to evoke handmade lettering while keeping a clear sans structure for quick recognition.
Because the letters are so dark and irregular, the font reads best when given generous spacing and moderate line lengths; dense paragraphs can feel busy. Round letters like O/C/G and the bowls in B/P/R carry much of the personality through their lopsided curves and compact counters.
