A heavy, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and intentionally uneven, hand-cut geometry. Curves lean toward circular bowls with slightly flattened or bumped transitions, and many strokes show subtle wobble and irregular angles that create a lively rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy, while the lowercase is simple and open, with single-storey a and g and generously sized counters. Numerals follow the same chunky, softened construction, maintaining consistent stroke weight and a bouncy baseline feel in text.
Best suited to display use such as posters, headlines, packaging, and bold brand marks where a friendly, informal voice is desired. It can also work well for children’s materials, event graphics, and short UI labels that benefit from a warm, approachable feel.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a casual, handmade charm that reads as fun rather than formal. Its irregularities add personality and a lighthearted, slightly retro craft sensibility, making the texture feel human and energetic.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold sans foundation with a deliberately imperfect, hand-made finish—prioritizing personality, warmth, and visual bounce while keeping letterforms straightforward and legible.
In blocks of text the dark color and tight, chunky silhouettes create strong presence, while the rounded corners prevent it from feeling harsh. The forms remain clear at display sizes, but the dense weight and playful unevenness make it more characterful than strictly utilitarian.
