A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and broad, cushion-like curves. Strokes stay consistently thick, with subtly irregular, hand-cut edges and slight asymmetries that create a lively rhythm. Terminals are blunt and soft rather than sharply squared, and several joins show gentle pinching that keeps the forms from feeling purely geometric. The uppercase reads sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase is simple and open with single-storey shapes and a clear, circular i-dot; numerals match the same chunky, simplified construction.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as headlines, posters, event graphics, packaging, and branding marks where a warm, playful tone is desired. It can also work well for kids’ products, entertainment, and casual signage, especially when set with generous tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, leaning toward a friendly, cartoonish retro feel. Its slightly wobbly, cut-paper texture adds personality and approachability, making the voice feel cheerful rather than corporate or austere.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a friendly, rounded voice, combining sturdy shapes with a subtle handmade wobble. It aims to feel approachable and fun while remaining highly legible in large-scale display applications.
Large internal shapes and short apertures give it strong impact at display sizes, but the tight counters and dense mass can darken quickly in longer passages. The design maintains a consistent, cohesive silhouette across letters and figures, emphasizing bold presence over delicate detail.
