A heavy, rounded sans with softly inflated bowls and a subtly irregular, hand-drawn steadiness. Strokes stay largely even in weight while corners are eased and terminals feel blunt and friendly. Proportions are compact with generous counters; rounds read slightly squarish in places, giving the forms a sturdy, cartoon-like solidity. Overall rhythm is lively, with small width differences across letters that add a natural, human bounce without sacrificing clarity.
Best suited to short-form text where personality matters—headlines, posters, packaging, and social graphics. The sturdy weight and open counters help it hold up at medium sizes, while its playful irregularity makes it more compelling for display than for long passages.
The tone is warm and approachable, leaning playful and slightly quirky rather than strict or corporate. Its soft geometry and mild wobble suggest an informal voice suited to lighthearted messaging and friendly brands.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly sans voice with rounded geometry and a hint of hand-made charm. It prioritizes approachability and impact, aiming for clear, upbeat readability with distinctive character.
Distinctive shapes like the diagonal-tail capital Q and the hooky descenders in letters such as j and q add character in display settings. Numerals are similarly rounded and bold, reading clearly with a friendly, chunky presence.
