A heavy, rounded sans with softly tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals that give the outlines a slightly calligraphic, hand-cut feel. Curves are generous and bowls are full, while joins and corners stay smooth rather than sharp, producing a sturdy, cushioned silhouette. The lowercase shows compact proportions with single-storey forms and an overall bouncy rhythm; punctuation-like details such as the i/j dots appear as angled lozenges that reinforce the handmade character. Figures are simple and weighty with consistent stroke presence, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short text where its chunky, friendly shapes can carry personality—such as posters, packaging, café or event signage, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes and section headers where a warm, informal voice is desired.
The font conveys an upbeat, approachable tone with a mild retro flavor. Its soft geometry and lively stroke modulation feel informal and personable, leaning more toward cheerful signage than strict corporate neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to blend the clean readability of a rounded sans with subtle hand-drawn inflection, aiming for a distinctive, upbeat display texture that remains clear and robust.
The design’s gentle swelling and terminal flare create a dynamic texture in words, especially in mixed-case settings, where the rounded bowls and slightly irregular-feeling details add warmth and character.
