A heavy, compact sans with soft, rounded outer curves and frequent angled slice-like terminals that make strokes feel cut from paper rather than drawn with a pen. Curves are broad and simplified, counters are generous for the weight, and joins stay smooth without visible contrast. Many forms show a slight, intentional irregularity—subtle tilts, asymmetric diagonals, and varied internal spacing—creating a lively rhythm while keeping consistent stroke mass. Numerals and caps follow the same chunky geometry, with bold circular shapes and blunt, often angled endings.
Best suited to display settings where personality is the goal: posters, bold headlines, playful branding, packaging, and event graphics. It can work for short blurbs and pull quotes, but the energetic letterforms may feel busy in dense, small-size text.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a comic, kid-friendly energy and a touch of retro signage. Its uneven, cutout-like finish reads approachable and humorous rather than strict or technical.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, friendly voice with a handcrafted, cutout sensibility—prioritizing charm and visual punch over typographic neutrality. The consistent weight and simplified shapes suggest an emphasis on quick recognition and strong silhouette in branding and display layouts.
The design relies on simplified geometry and distinctive diagonal truncations (notably on horizontals and diagonals), which adds character but also makes texture more dynamic in longer text. Round letters like O, Q, and 8 feel especially prominent and help maintain legibility at display sizes.
