A heavy, rounded sans with big, bulbous counters and generally soft terminals. Curves are broad and circular, while joins and corners show subtle irregularities and slightly pinched or notched intersections that give the outlines a cut-paper, hand-carved feel. The lowercase is compact with sturdy stems and a single-storey a and g; dots on i and j are large and round. Figures are thick and open with simple geometry, and spacing reads generous, supporting bold word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, splashy headlines, packaging, and identity work where bold, friendly impact is needed. It also fits playful editorial callouts, event graphics, and children’s or entertainment-oriented materials, especially when set with ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, leaning toward a retro, cartoonish energy. Its chunky forms and quirky interior cuts add personality without becoming chaotic, making it feel informal, friendly, and attention-grabbing.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with approachable, rounded forms, while introducing handcrafted-looking nicks and pinches to avoid a purely geometric feel. The result prioritizes expressive word shapes and a lively rhythm over restrained neutrality.
The design’s character comes from the tension between smooth, rounded outer silhouettes and the occasional sharp, wedge-like nicks at joins and in counters (noticeable in letters like B, M, R, and S). This adds texture and motion in headlines, but can make dense paragraphs feel visually busy at smaller sizes.
