A heavy, rounded display face with soft terminals and simplified, almost monoline construction that reads as chunky and cartoon-like. Strokes are punctuated by irregular internal knockouts and small cut-away slits that create a hollowed, distressed rhythm without breaking overall silhouette clarity. Counters are generally compact, curves are generous, and joins stay blunt and smooth, producing a dense, sticker-like texture across words. Letterforms vary slightly in width and internal detailing, reinforcing a handmade, imperfect consistency.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where the textured knockouts can be appreciated. It also works well for children’s products, playful branding, and event graphics that benefit from a bold, friendly tone rather than precise, text-first neutrality.
The font conveys a lighthearted, crafty tone—like painted signage or cut paper—mixing friendliness with a slightly gritty, ink-worn character. The internal cutouts add energy and a DIY feel, keeping the black shapes from feeling flat while maintaining a bold, approachable presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum display impact through rounded, chunky silhouettes while using irregular internal cutouts to add character and prevent large black areas from feeling static. It balances legibility with a deliberately handmade, distressed finish to evoke informal signage and playful branding.
In running text the repeated interior slits become a prominent pattern, so the face feels most at home when used large enough for those details to read cleanly. Numerals and capitals share the same rounded massing and knockout texture, creating a cohesive, poster-oriented color on the page.
