A chunky, handmade-looking sans with irregular outlines and a subtly wavy baseline and cap rhythm. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with frequent wedge-like terminals and sharp, chiseled joins that give letters a cut-paper or carved feel. Counters tend to be compact and slightly asymmetric, and several forms show intentional inconsistencies in width and stance that create an animated, non-mechanical texture. The overall silhouette stays legible at display sizes while leaning into expressive distortion rather than strict geometric construction.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short bursts of text where personality is more important than typographic neutrality. It can work well for playful branding, packaging, event graphics, and kid-oriented or comic-adjacent materials, and as an accent face paired with a simpler body font.
The font reads as playful and mischievous, with a cartoonish energy that feels informal and personable. Its jagged, carved details and uneven rhythm suggest spontaneity and humor, making text feel more like hand-lettered signage than polished typesetting.
This design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, hand-cut display voice—bold and attention-grabbing—while keeping letterforms broadly familiar and readable. The irregular stroke endings and lively spacing suggest an emphasis on character and motion over strict uniformity.
Numerals share the same wedge-cut, irregular treatment and hold up as bold display figures. The texture becomes increasingly busy in long passages, where the uneven widths and sharp terminals add strong personality but reduce calm readability compared with more conventional sans designs.
