A heavy, rounded sans with generous curves and softly squared terminals. The forms show subtle, hand-drawn irregularity in stroke alignment and curvature, giving the outlines a gently “wobbly” rhythm rather than strict geometric precision. Counters are open and rounded, joins are smooth, and the overall texture is dense but not cramped. Numerals and capitals share the same soft construction, with robust bowls and clear, simplified interior spaces.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where personality matters: brand marks, packaging, posters, social graphics, and expressive headings. It can also work for playful editorial callouts, UI accents, or children’s and entertainment-oriented materials where a friendly, informal voice is desired.
The tone is warm and upbeat, with a slightly mischievous, cartoon-like bounce. Its friendly roundness and mild irregularity make it feel informal and human, prioritizing charm over strict neutrality.
The design appears intended as a personality-forward display sans: sturdy and highly legible at larger sizes, with rounded geometry and slight irregularities to create a welcoming, hand-touched feel while keeping letterforms simple and familiar.
The lowercase includes single-storey shapes where expected (notably the ‘a’), and several diagonals and curves lean into a lively, uneven energy that reads as intentionally playful. Round letters like O/C/G emphasize circular construction, while flat-sided letters like E/F/L maintain the same soft-cornered, heavyweight feel for consistency.
