A chunky, heavy sans with softly rounded contours and deliberately uneven, hand-cut geometry. Strokes maintain a mostly consistent thickness, but the sides and terminals subtly wobble, creating a lively silhouette and an irregular rhythm across words. Counters are generally open and simple, with circular letters (like O and o) reading as slightly lopsided ovals, and many verticals showing a gentle lean or bulge that adds bounce. Spacing appears generous and forgiving, favoring bold shapes and clear separation over tight, typographic precision.
Well suited for short display text such as posters, headlines, event promos, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It also fits children’s media, casual signage, and game/UI title treatments where a friendly, comedic voice is desired.
The overall tone is humorous and approachable, with a cut-paper or cartoon-title energy. Its bouncy outlines and slightly off-kilter proportions feel informal and lively, lending a sense of motion and personality rather than neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver an instantly recognizable, high-impact display voice by combining very heavy weight with intentionally irregular, hand-made shapes. The goal is expressive legibility—clear letterforms that feel fun, spontaneous, and slightly eccentric.
The design reads best when set large, where the intentional irregularities become a feature rather than noise. The numerals share the same sculpted, playful massing, supporting cohesive display settings alongside the letters.
