A chunky, rounded sans with heavy strokes and softly sculpted curves. The letterforms are intentionally irregular: stems and bowls lean or bulge slightly, terminals are blunt, and internal counters stay fairly open for the weight. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a hand-cut, wobbly rhythm that feels more organic than geometric. Numerals follow the same chunky construction with simplified, bold silhouettes.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It also fits kid-focused materials, casual event promos, and any design that benefits from a bold, friendly, cartoon-like voice.
The overall tone is upbeat and mischievous, with a comic, handmade energy. Its uneven rhythm and inflated shapes read as casual and approachable rather than formal, giving text a lively, animated presence.
The font appears designed to deliver a fun, informal display personality with a deliberately imperfect, hand-shaped look. Its goal is to stand out through bold massing and quirky rhythm while staying legible in large sizes.
The design favors strong silhouettes and clear word shapes over precision, with small angular quirks appearing in corners and joins that add character. At display sizes it feels confident and loud; in longer settings the deliberate wobble becomes a defining texture.
