A heavy, soft-edged sans with compact proportions and rounded terminals. Strokes are thick and relatively even, with subtly uneven contours that create a hand-drawn, organic feel rather than geometric precision. Curves are generous and bowls are full, while joins and corners often appear slightly blunted or pinched, adding visual character. Spacing and letterfit feel intentionally lively, producing a slightly wavy rhythm across words and a varied, informal texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and brand moments that benefit from a friendly, playful voice. It will also work well for children’s materials, event graphics, and social content where bold shapes and characterful texture help text stand out.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a cartoonish warmth that reads as fun rather than formal. Its gentle irregularities give it a homemade, personable voice that feels energetic and friendly, well suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display sans with an intentionally imperfect, hand-shaped finish. Its softened shapes and bouncy rhythm emphasize personality and readability at larger sizes over strict neutrality or typographic restraint.
Uppercase forms lean toward blocky silhouettes with softened geometry, while lowercase shapes keep the same chunky weight and add extra personality through uneven curves and simplified details. Numerals are similarly stout and rounded, maintaining strong presence at display sizes.
