A compact, heavy sans with softly rounded terminals and gently irregular contours that evoke a hand-cut or marker-drawn feel. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, and counters tend to be small, keeping the overall color dense. Curves are slightly lopsided in places and joins are simplified, creating a lively rhythm without becoming illegible. The lowercase includes single-storey forms and short ascenders/descenders relative to the body, reinforcing a sturdy, compact silhouette.
Best suited for display sizes where its dense color and quirky construction can carry personality—such as posters, packaging, branding marks, and attention-grabbing headlines. It also works well for playful editorial callouts, kids-oriented materials, and short UI labels where a friendly tone is desired, though extended small-size text may feel heavy due to the tight counters.
The font reads as cheerful and approachable, with a humorous, offbeat character that feels intentionally imperfect. Its chunky shapes and subtle wobble give it a homemade warmth, making text feel conversational rather than formal or corporate.
Designed to deliver an informal, characterful sans voice with a bold presence while staying broadly readable. The slightly uneven curves and compact proportions suggest an aim to mimic handcrafted lettering in a consistent, typeset-ready form.
Letterforms show a mix of rounded geometry and subtle squareness, producing a buoyant baseline rhythm in longer lines. Numerals are sturdy and friendly, matching the dense texture of the letters and maintaining consistent weight and spacing.
