A heavy, compact sans with softly rounded corners and mostly straight-sided stems. Forms show subtle, deliberate irregularities—slight tilts, uneven curves, and small angle changes—that create a hand-cut, poster-like texture while keeping a consistent overall structure. Counters are relatively small and openings are tight, giving the letters a dense, sturdy silhouette. The lowercase follows the same blocky logic with simple bowls and minimal detailing, and the numerals share the same squat, chunky construction.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, and playful branding where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It can work well for short phrases and titles, especially at larger sizes where the irregular rhythm becomes a design feature rather than a readability constraint.
The font reads as cheerful and informal, with a cartoony confidence that feels approachable rather than strict. Its slight wobble and chunky massing suggest a retro, handmade sensibility suitable for lighthearted or kid-friendly messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, handcrafted tone—combining a solid, blocky sans foundation with subtle irregularity to avoid a rigid, geometric feel and add personality in display typography.
Spacing and sidebearings appear intentionally uneven across characters, producing an animated rhythm in words. Short ascenders/descenders and compact interiors help it hold a strong color on the page, especially in large sizes.
