A chunky sans with softly rounded terminals and an intentionally irregular rhythm. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with subtle wobble and asymmetric joins that give letters a hand-cut, cartoon-like construction. Counters are generally open and simplified, curves are broad, and diagonals (like in K, V, W, X, Y) read slightly uneven in angle and balance. Lowercase forms are compact with a large x-height, single-storey shapes where applicable, and short ascenders/descenders; figures are sturdy and rounded, with a simple, readable 0 and bulbous 8/9 forms.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and expressive branding where a friendly, informal tone is desired. It can also work for playful UI labels or children’s materials when set with comfortable spacing and moderate line lengths.
The overall tone is approachable and informal, with a humorous, slightly mischievous energy. Its imperfect geometry and soft corners feel human and craft-like rather than clinical, giving headlines a lively, characterful voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, character-forward sans that feels handcrafted and fun. By combining soft terminals with deliberate irregularities, it prioritizes personality and immediacy for display settings rather than strict neutrality.
Spacing appears generous enough for display, but the heavy color and quirky letterfit can create a lively, uneven texture across longer lines. The design favors bold silhouettes and simplified interior shapes over precision, which helps it stay legible at larger sizes while retaining its playful personality.
