A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and softly blunted corners. The construction feels intentionally informal: curves are full and open, terminals are mostly flat or gently angled, and several letters show slight asymmetries that create a hand-shaped, cutout-like rhythm rather than strict geometric precision. Proportions lean wide in many capitals, with generous counters and a compact, sturdy footprint; lowercase forms are simple and readable with single-storey shapes where expected, and punctuation/dots appear large and prominent relative to the stems.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, playful branding, packaging, and signage where character and warmth matter. It can work in brief blurbs or callouts, but the strong personality and dense color make it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a slightly offbeat, cartoonish energy. Its uneven, bouncy silhouettes suggest spontaneity and humor, reading more like a friendly display voice than a neutral system sans.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable, humorous display sans that feels handmade without becoming script-like. Its softened corners, generous shapes, and intentionally quirky rhythm prioritize friendliness and standout presence in attention-grabbing contexts.
Round letters like O/C/G are broad and smooth, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are thick and emphatic, adding a punchy texture in all-caps. Numerals are equally weighty and high-impact, with simplified, poster-like forms designed to stay clear at a glance.
