A heavy, rounded sans with compact internal counters and a deliberately irregular, wavy baseline feel. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with soft corners and broad curves that give letters a molded, cutout look. Terminals tend to be blunt and slightly angled, and many glyphs show subtle asymmetries and off-center apertures that create a lively, handmade rhythm. Lowercase forms are large relative to capitals, with simple one-storey structures and short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders that keep text blocks dense and dark.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, playful branding, packaging, and promotional graphics where bold shapes and personality matter most. It can work for brief subheads or punchy callouts, but dense paragraph text will feel heavy and may need generous size and spacing to stay legible.
The overall tone is upbeat and humorous, leaning toward a retro display sensibility. Its bouncy shapes and chunky silhouettes feel approachable and informal, making it read as energetic rather than serious or corporate.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize visual punch while projecting friendliness, using rounded geometry, compact counters, and intentional irregularities to avoid a sterile, purely geometric feel. The goal reads as a characterful display sans that stays simple in structure while adding bounce through shape and rhythm.
The design emphasizes silhouette over fine detail: counters are small, joins are thick, and spacing reads intentionally tight, which increases impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals and punctuation match the same rounded, slightly skewed construction, maintaining a consistent, poster-like texture across mixed text.
