A heavy, soft-edged sans with an intentionally uneven, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are broadly uniform with low contrast, and counters are rounded and slightly irregular, giving letters a blobby, carved-from-paper feel. Proportions vary by glyph with a lively rhythm: widths shift noticeably, curves are slightly lopsided, and terminals often end in subtly angled or flattened cuts. The lowercase shows a simple, single-storey structure (notably in a and g), with compact bowls and sturdy stems that keep forms readable at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where personality is a priority: posters, playful branding, packaging, event titles, and casual signage. It can work for short UI labels or social graphics when a friendly, handmade look is desired, but its irregular rhythm is most effective in headings and emphasis rather than dense body copy.
The font projects a cheerful, informal tone—more craft and character than precision. Its bouncy shapes and gentle irregularities suggest whimsy and approachability, with a mild retro/cartoon flavor that feels inviting rather than rigid or technical.
The design appears intended to mimic an expressive, hand-crafted sans—like cut paper, brush-block lettering, or casual marker forms—while retaining clear, simple construction. Its goal is to add warmth, humor, and visual texture to otherwise straightforward typographic layouts.
The bold massing and soft corners create strong presence in short lines, while the irregular widths and varied letter shapes add texture that becomes more pronounced in longer passages. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded logic, maintaining a consistent, friendly voice across letters and figures.
