A lively, high-contrast display face with tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals that give each letter a carved, hand-cut feel. Forms lean on simple, mostly sans-like construction while introducing gentle stroke modulation and uneven letter widths for a bouncy rhythm. Curves are full and slightly asymmetric, with sharp-to-soft transitions that read like brush or chisel pressure. The lowercase sits small relative to the capitals, and the overall spacing feels open, helping the irregularities stay legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where the expressive contrast and irregular rhythm can be appreciated—posters, book covers, packaging, and themed event or festival branding. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts when paired with a calmer text face.
The tone is whimsical and theatrical, with a friendly eccentricity that suggests folk signage or storybook titling. Its rhythmic wobble and expressive contrast feel more human than mechanical, lending a warm, slightly mischievous personality to headlines.
Likely designed to deliver an informal, handcrafted voice while remaining clear and upright, combining simple sans-like skeletons with expressive, tapered stroke modulation for character-driven display typography.
Round letters (like O/C) show pronounced thick–thin behavior, while diagonals and joins (V/W/K) keep a crisp, angular snap. Numerals carry the same hand-drawn modulation and are bold enough to read as part of the display system rather than as neutral text figures.
