A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and softly blunted terminals throughout. Curves dominate the construction, with generous bowls and counters balanced by relatively straight, thick stems; joins are smooth and simplified rather than sharply articulated. The overall rhythm is slightly irregular in a hand-cut way—strokes feel subtly uneven and shapes aren’t perfectly geometric—while spacing remains open enough to keep interiors readable at display sizes. Numerals and lowercase share the same sturdy, rounded build, with single-storey forms where applicable and a generally simplified, friendly silhouette.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy such as headlines, posters, packaging, and playful branding. It also works well for kids-oriented materials, labels, stickers, and social graphics where a friendly, chunky voice is desirable.
The tone is warm and lighthearted, leaning toward a kid-friendly, comic poster energy rather than corporate neutrality. Its chunky softness reads approachable and fun, making text feel casual and conversational.
The font appears designed to deliver an expressive, approachable sans with a soft, rounded character and a slightly handmade feel, prioritizing bold presence and charm in display settings.
The design favors bold silhouettes and easy recognition over refinement: diagonals and junctions are simplified, and some characters have intentionally quirky contours that add personality. The strong weight and rounded detailing make it most at home when it can breathe, rather than in dense paragraphs or small UI sizes.
