A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and slightly irregular, hand-formed contours. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with gently swelling curves and occasional squarish terminals that create a chunky, cut-out feel. Counters are small and simplified, and several forms show deliberate asymmetry (notably in bowls and joins), giving the alphabet a lively, uneven rhythm while maintaining consistent overall weight. Spacing reads relatively open for the mass of the letters, supporting short bursts of text at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its mass and personality can read clearly: posters, headlines, product packaging, playful branding, and kid-oriented or casual editorial accents. It works especially well in short phrases, titles, and callouts where the irregular rhythm becomes a feature rather than a distraction.
The tone is friendly and cartoon-leaning, with a casual, homemade personality. Its blobby silhouettes and quirky proportions suggest humor and approachability rather than precision or formality, evoking retro packaging and playful display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, approachable sans for attention-grabbing display use. By combining consistent heft with intentionally imperfect contours and simplified counters, it aims for a handcrafted, fun look that remains broadly legible at larger sizes.
Distinctive, simplified constructions—such as the single-storey a and g, compact internal apertures, and rounded-rectangular o/0 shapes—help the font feel cohesive and characterful. Numerals match the same soft, chunky logic, with bold, legible silhouettes and minimal internal detail.
