A chunky sans with rounded forms and subtly uneven geometry that gives the alphabet a hand-cut, sign-like presence. Strokes are heavy with noticeable modulation, and many terminals finish in soft wedge shapes rather than crisp, squared ends. Curves are broad and full (notably in C, O, S, and lowercases like a, e, g), while verticals and diagonals show slight tapering and gentle asymmetry. The overall rhythm feels intentionally irregular, with small changes in width and a lightly “wobbly” stance that keeps text lively at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It can work well for signage and short bursts of copy, especially when you want a handmade or retro-leaning texture. For dense body text, the strong texture and playful irregularity will be more prominent, so careful sizing and spacing help.
The face reads warm and approachable, with a playful, slightly mischievous tone. Its buoyant, imperfect polish suggests mid-century or cartoon-adjacent display lettering rather than strict modernist neutrality. The result feels personable and attention-grabbing without turning into novelty lettering.
Likely designed to deliver a confident display sans that feels human and characterful, balancing legibility with a deliberately imperfect, hand-rendered rhythm. The wedge-like terminals and subtle stroke modulation appear intended to add warmth and motion while keeping letterforms robust and readable.
Uppercase shapes are compact and blocky, while lowercase forms maintain generous counters and rounded joins for clarity. Numerals are sturdy and simplified, matching the same soft-wedge terminal logic and slightly elastic proportions seen in the letters. In longer text, the irregularities add charm but also create a strong texture that’s best treated as a feature.
