A chunky, heavy sans with softly rounded corners and subtly irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with frequent wedge-like cuts at terminals that create a slightly chiseled, stamped look rather than clean geometric endings. Counters tend to be compact and somewhat squarish, and several forms show gentle asymmetry and shifting widths that add a lively rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a tall t with a small crossbar; punctuation and numerals follow the same robust, simplified construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and short display copy where bold texture and personality are desired. It works well for playful branding, kids or hobby contexts, event graphics, and punchy callouts, and is less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes due to its dense interior space.
The overall tone is jovial and attention-grabbing, with a quirky, retro sign-painting energy. Its uneven, cut-paper edges keep it from feeling corporate or clinical, leaning instead toward fun, informal, and character-forward communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a friendly, high-impact display voice with a handcrafted, cut-out feel—prioritizing character, rhythm, and instant readability over strict geometric regularity.
In text, the dense color and small apertures can close up at smaller sizes, while larger settings emphasize the font’s quirky terminal cuts and bouncy silhouette. The mix of rounded bowls and angular shears gives it a distinctive, poster-friendly texture.
