A chunky sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, but with subtle swelling, tapered endings, and slightly wobbly contours that keep the texture lively. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with uneven widths and a bouncy baseline feel; counters are compact and often off-center, producing a dense, graphic color. Curves are rounded and somewhat squarish at turns, and joins can feel pinched or flared, reinforcing the handmade look.
Works best for display settings such as posters, event titles, packaging callouts, and playful branding where a handmade voice is desired. It can also suit children’s materials and comic-style applications, especially when used at larger sizes with comfortable spacing for readability.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, reading like a casual marker or cut-paper lettering rather than a rigid system font. Its uneven rhythm and lively shapes add personality and humor, making text feel animated and friendly rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to emulate informal, hand-drawn lettering with a bold, cutout-like presence. Its irregular widths and lively curves prioritize character and immediacy, aiming for an approachable, humorous feel in display typography.
In the sample text, the strong weight and compact counters create a dark, attention-grabbing texture that benefits from generous tracking and leading. The distinctive, slightly inconsistent letterforms make it more suitable for short runs of text where character is prioritized over neutrality.
