A heavy, soft-edged sans with rounded terminals and subtly irregular outlines that suggest a hand-cut or marker-drawn construction. Strokes stay broadly even in thickness, with generous counters and simplified joins that keep forms open despite the weight. Proportions feel roomy and slightly uneven from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; curves are full and circular, while diagonals and horizontals show mild wobble rather than strict geometric precision.
Best used for short-to-medium display text where personality is a priority: posters, playful branding, kids-oriented materials, packaging, in-store signage, and social graphics. It can work for subheads and brief captions at moderate sizes, but its chunky weight and irregularity make it less suitable for dense, extended reading.
The overall tone is cheerful and casual, with a toy-like bounce that reads as approachable rather than technical. Its deliberate imperfections and softened shapes give it a warm, humorous personality suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver an upbeat, informal voice through rounded, simplified letterforms and a gently uneven, hand-made rhythm, prioritizing friendliness and impact over strict neutrality or precision.
Capitals are sturdy and blocky with rounded bowls and broad apertures; the “O” and “Q” are especially circular, and the “Q” uses a simple, inward tail. The lowercase is compact and friendly, with single-storey forms and minimal detailing, and the numerals are bold and highly legible with rounded corners and simplified silhouettes.
