A heavy, rounded display face with soft corners and a puffy, marker-like silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are bulbous, giving letters a slightly blobby, cushiony feel. Proportions are compact with a large x-height and short ascenders/descenders, while counters remain open enough to keep shapes readable at larger sizes. Spacing and widths vary modestly, reinforcing a hand-drawn rhythm without breaking overall consistency.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and playful branding where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It also works well for children’s materials, crafts, stickers, and social graphics, while extended paragraphs may feel heavy due to its dense color.
The tone is warm and comedic, suggesting kid-friendly fun and casual approachability. Its bouncy shapes and softened geometry read as lighthearted and slightly mischievous rather than formal or technical.
Designed to mimic informal, hand-drawn printing with an exaggerated, rounded weight for immediate friendliness and visibility. The letterforms prioritize personality and bold presence over strict geometric regularity, aiming for approachable, cartoon-like charm in display settings.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, rounded construction, and the numerals follow the same chunky, soft-edged logic. The overall texture is dense and dark, making it most effective when given generous tracking and line spacing in layouts.
