A chunky sans with softly rounded corners and a deliberately irregular, hand-cut feel. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation, while character widths and internal counters vary to create a lively rhythm. Curves tend toward plump, slightly squarish bowls, and terminals look blunt rather than sharply finished. Uppercase forms read sturdy and compact, while the lowercase shows a tall, open build that keeps words legible despite the wobble and unevenness.
Best suited to short, attention-getting copy such as posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and casual signage where personality is a priority. It can work for branding and social graphics that want an approachable, handcrafted voice, and it remains readable in brief text blocks at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a jaunty, slightly goofy bounce that suggests handmade signage and playful display typography. Its imperfect geometry gives it personality and approachability rather than precision or restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, personable sans alternative with a handcrafted, slightly uneven construction—prioritizing charm and immediacy over strict typographic regularity.
In text, spacing feels intentionally loose and organic, and the irregular silhouettes create a textured color on the line. Numerals match the same chunky, friendly construction, staying clear at display sizes while maintaining the font’s quirky rhythm.
