A chunky display face with hand-drawn, slightly wobbly outlines and uneven stroke edges that suggest a cut-paper or marker-made construction. Shapes are compact and vertically oriented, with simplified counters and occasional notches or bulges that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Terminals tend to be blunt and softly squared, and the overall silhouette stays heavy and dark while allowing small variations in width and contour from letter to letter. Numerals match the same irregular, carved look, keeping a consistent visual color in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It can also work for children’s materials, comics-style captions, and craft-themed graphics where a handmade, energetic presence is desirable.
The tone is playful and slightly mischievous, with a retro craft sensibility that feels homemade and bold. Its irregularities read as intentional and expressive, giving headlines a friendly, offbeat character rather than a polished or corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handmade display voice with intentionally irregular contours, prioritizing personality and visual punch over strict uniformity. It aims to evoke a tactile, DIY feel while maintaining straightforward letter construction for quick readability in headings.
The texture comes from edge variation and small contour kinks rather than from strong calligraphic modulation, so the face keeps a solid mass on the page. Letterforms remain legible in short bursts, but the dense weight and quirky outlines make it most convincing when used at larger sizes and with comfortable spacing.
