A chunky, soft-cornered display face with rounded terminals and gently flared stroke endings that create a subtly wavy silhouette. The letterforms lean slightly with a lively, uneven rhythm, and many curves feel inflated and bulb-like rather than strictly geometric. Counters are compact and irregularly rounded, while joins and shoulders are thick and smooth, giving the alphabet a dense, inked-in presence. Uppercase forms are broad and animated, and the lowercase shows a single-storey a with similarly buoyant, simplified shapes.
Best suited for headlines, packaging, and brand marks that want an upbeat, characterful voice. It also works well for event posters, café/food branding, children’s materials, and short callouts where a friendly, retro-leaning display texture is more important than dense readability.
The overall tone is cheerful and mischievous, with a vintage cartoon and hand-lettered poster energy. Its bouncy forms and softened edges read as approachable and humorous rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a warm, nostalgic display look with hand-drawn spontaneity, combining rounded construction with deliberate irregularities to keep text feeling energetic and personable.
The texture is intentionally idiosyncratic: terminals often swell or taper slightly, and spacing feels more like crafted lettering than rigid typesetting. Numerals follow the same rounded, lumpy construction and read best at medium to large sizes where the personality and interior shapes stay clear.
