A chunky, rounded sans with a deliberately irregular, hand-cut feel. Strokes are heavy and softly curved, with subtle wobble in stems and bowls that creates a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters tend to be compact and rounded, terminals are blunt, and several glyphs show gentle asymmetry or slight tilt-like shaping despite an overall upright stance. The overall texture is dense and dark, with mixed widths and slightly varied proportions that read as intentionally informal rather than mechanically uniform.
Best suited to short-form display work where personality is an asset: headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and playful branding. It also works well for children’s-facing materials, crafts, event signage, and bold social graphics where a friendly, handmade voice is desired.
The font conveys a cheerful, mischievous tone—more craft and character than precision. Its bouncy silhouettes and uneven rhythm suggest something human-made, giving text a warm, approachable energy.
The design appears intended to emulate a casual, cut-paper or marker-made sans—prioritizing charm, immediacy, and visual bounce over strict typographic regularity. It aims to provide a bold, approachable display texture that feels informal and fun.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and poster-like, while lowercase shapes add extra whimsy through more pronounced irregularities and compact counters. Numerals match the same chunky construction and rounded geometry, maintaining a consistent, friendly color across mixed content.
