A heavy, soft-edged sans with subtly wavy outlines and gently irregular geometry. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with rounded corners and slightly bulging sides that create a hand-shaped feel while staying clearly constructed. Counters are compact and often rounded, and the overall spacing and widths vary by letter, producing a lively, uneven rhythm in words. The lowercase mixes simplified, single-storey forms with stout verticals and short terminals, keeping silhouettes bold and easy to read at display sizes.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, playful branding, packaging, and kid-oriented materials where personality is more important than strict neutrality. It also works well for logos, labels, and social graphics that need high impact and quick recognition at medium-to-large sizes.
The font reads as cheerful and informal, with a cartoon-like bounce that feels approachable rather than strict. Its mild wobble and chunky massing add humor and warmth, making text feel energetic and a bit mischievous without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to provide a friendly, high-impact sans with a deliberately imperfect, wavy construction—capturing a hand-cut or cartoon display vibe while preserving clear letterforms for short text.
The strongest character comes from the consistent “soft wobble” applied across straight strokes and curves, which gives repeated letters a hand-made cadence. Numerals and capitals maintain the same compact, weighty construction, supporting punchy headlines and short bursts of copy.
