A compact, heavy sans with intentionally irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with subtly faceted curves, uneven terminals, and slight angular nicks that keep outlines from feeling mechanically smooth. Counters are small and rounded, with a generally tight, compact fit; widths and sidebearings vary by character, creating a lively rhythm. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with single-storey forms, prominent dots on i/j, and short, chunky extenders that maintain a dense silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and playful branding where character is more important than quiet readability. It also fits children’s media, comics-style titling, and event graphics where a lively, handmade voice is desired.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a spontaneous, cut-paper feel that reads as friendly and comedic rather than formal. Its wobble and unevenness suggest handmade energy and a kidlit/cartoon sensibility, making text feel animated and informal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum personality at display sizes: a bold, compact sans built around irregular, hand-shaped contours to create motion and charm. Its simplified forms and tight counters emphasize silhouette and punch, aiming for an approachable, humorous voice.
Round letters like O/Q/8 appear notably bulbous and dark, while diagonal-heavy shapes (K, V, W, X) show dramatic, wedge-like joins that amplify the font’s jaunty rhythm. Numerals match the letterforms with stout proportions and simplified shapes designed for strong, poster-like impact.
