A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and softened corners, drawn with deliberate irregularities that make each glyph feel slightly hand-shaped. Curves are full and compact, with small, tight counters and blunt terminals that read more cut-out than geometric. The baseline and cap alignment feel intentionally wavy, creating a bouncy rhythm in words, while overall letterforms remain upright and highly legible at display sizes.
This design suits short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, stickers, and playful packaging, especially where a lighthearted personality is desired. It works best at medium-to-large sizes, where the tight counters and intentionally uneven rhythm stay clear and contribute to the expressive look.
The font projects a humorous, mischievous tone with an informal, kid-friendly energy. Its uneven stance and inflated shapes give it a lively, animated voice that feels more like signage or cartoons than corporate typography.
The letterforms appear designed to capture a hand-cut, cartoon display feel within a sturdy sans structure, prioritizing charm and impact over neutrality. The consistent heaviness and controlled irregularity suggest an aim for approachable, comedic branding and title typography.
Uppercase forms are compact and bold, while lowercase maintains the same thick, rounded construction with simple, single-story shapes where applicable. Numerals share the same soft, weighty silhouette and maintain strong presence, favoring personality over strict uniformity.
