A heavy, rounded sans with softly inflated strokes and gently uneven contours that suggest hand-drawn construction. Curves dominate (notably in C, O, S, and the bowls of B/P/R), while terminals are mostly blunted and slightly irregular, creating a warm, tactile edge rather than a crisp geometric finish. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with broad counters and simple, open apertures; overall spacing reads generous and forgiving, supporting a buoyant, informal rhythm in text.
Works best for short-to-medium text at larger sizes: posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and friendly brand identities where a welcoming, informal voice is desired. It can also suit children’s materials or casual editorial callouts, especially where a handmade, upbeat texture is beneficial.
The letterforms convey a lighthearted, approachable tone—more like marker lettering or cut-paper shapes than a strict corporate sans. Its slightly wobbly silhouettes and rounded weight give it a friendly, kid-centric energy with a mild vintage sign-painter feel.
Likely designed to provide a bold, friendly display sans that feels human and approachable, combining simple rounded construction with subtle irregularities to avoid a sterile, purely geometric look.
Distinctive, easily recognized shapes appear in the one-storey lowercase a and g, the playful hook of j, and the lively diagonals in k, v, w, and x. Numerals are similarly rounded and chunky, leaning toward display use where character and impact matter more than strict regularity.
