A heavy, rounded sans with broad, compact counters and softly blunted terminals. The letterforms show a subtle hand-cut wobble: strokes gently swell and taper and the verticals don’t feel perfectly rigid, creating a lively, uneven rhythm across words. Curves are generous and circular (notably in O, C, and G), while joins and corners are softened rather than sharp. Spacing is relatively tight for the weight, producing dense, high-impact word shapes, and proportions vary slightly by glyph, reinforcing the informal, constructed feel.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where its weight and buoyant rhythm can carry the message—posters, playful branding, packaging callouts, storefront signage, and bold social graphics. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when set with generous leading to keep the dense forms from feeling cramped.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly quirky, handmade energy. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing without feeling aggressive, making it well suited to cheerful, community-oriented, or youth-focused messaging.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual presence with a friendly, informal voice, combining sturdy geometric foundations with intentional irregularities to avoid a sterile, purely mechanical look.
Distinctive quirks—like the angled, dynamic diagonals and the gently skewed feel in some bowls and shoulders—add personality and motion. The numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction, maintaining strong visual consistency between text and figures.
