A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and softly swollen strokes. Forms are built from simple, circular curves and straight segments with blunt terminals, producing a sturdy, friendly silhouette. Edges show a subtly irregular, inked texture that reads as hand-rendered rather than mechanically perfect, while counters remain open enough to keep letters recognizable. Overall spacing and rhythm feel relaxed and slightly bouncy, with consistent weight across curves and stems.
It works best for short-to-medium setting sizes such as headlines, posters, packaging, casual branding, and display copy where texture and charm are desirable. The sturdy shapes also suit simple labels, social graphics, and playful editorial callouts, especially where a friendly handmade look is preferred over a pristine finish.
The font conveys an informal, approachable tone with a crafty, handmade character. Its soft corners and gently uneven outlines give it warmth and personality, leaning toward playful and nostalgic rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to blend simple geometric construction with a hand-inked surface, creating a personable display sans that feels crafted and approachable while staying highly legible in larger sizes.
Round letters like O, Q, and 0 are compact and bold with generous interior space, while diagonals in V/W/X/Y are thick and stable, reinforcing a chunky, poster-like presence. Numerals match the same softened geometry and lightly distressed edge treatment, helping mixed text feel cohesive.
