A heavy, compact sans with uneven, hand-made geometry and a subtly wobbling baseline rhythm. Strokes are thick and consistent, with mostly blunt terminals and gently softened corners that keep the shapes from feeling rigid. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an intentionally irregular texture; bowls and counters are generally small and rounded, and diagonals (as in K, V, W, X) read as chunky wedges rather than crisp lines. The lowercase is simple and compact, with short ascenders/descenders and a single-storey feel where applicable, while the numerals are bold, rounded, and slightly lopsided in a way that matches the overall cut-paper look.
Best suited to display settings where personality matters more than typographic neutrality: posters, playful branding, packaging, stickers, headings, and short promotional copy. It can also work for logo wordmarks that want a friendly, handmade sans voice.
The font projects a humorous, informal tone—more like cut-out lettering or cartoon titling than a neutral UI sans. Its uneven rhythm and chunky forms feel approachable and a bit mischievous, lending energy to short phrases and emphatic headlines.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans with a handmade, cut-letter spontaneity. The goal seems to be high impact at large sizes while preserving a quirky, human rhythm through controlled irregularities in width and curvature.
Spacing appears generous enough for display use, but the dense counters and strong weight make the texture quickly dark in longer lines. The most distinctive trait is the consistent, deliberate irregularity—widths, angles, and curves vary just enough to read as handcrafted rather than distressed.
