A very heavy sans with soft corners and an intentionally uneven, hand-cut construction. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, but edges and terminals wobble slightly, creating a cut-paper feel rather than a geometric finish. Counters are compact and rounded, with simplified forms and broad joins that emphasize mass over precision. Overall spacing and letterfit feel lively and slightly inconsistent, adding to the informal rhythm in words and lines of text.
This font works best at display sizes where its irregular outlines and dense weight become a feature rather than a distraction. It suits posters, playful branding, packaging, and short headline phrases on the web or in print, especially where an inviting, handcrafted voice is desired.
The tone is upbeat and informal, with a cartoon-like warmth that feels approachable rather than technical. Its wobbly silhouettes and chunky weight suggest humor, spontaneity, and a DIY sensibility, making text feel energetic and personable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, handmade character—combining a bold sans foundation with irregular contours to avoid a corporate or purely geometric look. It aims to be attention-grabbing and approachable, prioritizing personality and texture in display typography.
Round characters like O, Q, and 0 read as squat and bold, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) lean into thick, blunt intersections that enhance the rugged texture. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy shapes with single-storey constructions where applicable and a generally compact feel that keeps color dense in paragraphs.
