A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes are thick and uniform with softened joins and subtly uneven terminals that give the shapes a lively wobble rather than rigid geometry. Counters are generally small-to-medium for the weight, and bowls (C, O, Q, e) stay broadly circular, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are chunky and wedge-like. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g, short extenders, and a broadly circular dot on i/j; numerals are similarly bulbous and high-impact.
Best suited to headlines, posters, stickers, and packaging where bold presence and friendly character are desired. It can work well for children’s materials, playful branding, social graphics, and short emphatic copy, especially when paired with a simpler companion for body text.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, reading like a fun display face with a handmade, slightly quirky personality. Its chunky silhouettes feel energetic and informal, lending a cheerful, retro-leaning character that suits expressive messaging more than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that prioritizes warmth and personality through rounded forms and controlled irregularity. It aims to deliver instant readability at large sizes while projecting a casual, fun voice.
At text sizes the strong weight and tight internal counters make it read best with generous spacing and short lines. The irregularity is consistent across the set, helping headings feel animated without becoming chaotic.
