A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and slightly irregular outlines that create an organic, hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and even, with rounded terminals and generous interior curves that keep counters open despite the weight. Proportions lean wide in several glyphs, and the overall rhythm is lively rather than strictly geometric, with subtle shape variation from letter to letter. Numerals match the letters in mass and softness, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for short to medium display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a friendly, high-impact voice is needed. It also works well for children’s or family-oriented materials and casual editorial callouts, but its weight and lively irregularity make it less appropriate for dense body text.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, slightly nostalgic personality. Its bouncy shapes and imperfect edges give it an informal, human quality suited to cheerful and down-to-earth messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an approachable, handcrafted character—combining bold, rounded forms with subtle irregularity to feel friendly, energetic, and memorable in branding and display typography.
Capitals are bold and stable with simplified structure, while lowercase forms stay compact and rounded for a cohesive, headline-forward texture. The design favors strong silhouettes and legibility through large counters and clear letter differentiation.
