A heavy, rounded sans with soft, fully curved terminals and corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, creating an even, solid texture with generous interior counters that stay open at display sizes. Proportions lean wide and slightly uneven in a hand-drawn way, with subtly irregular curves and joins that add a lively rhythm. The lowercase features single-storey a and g, a round i/j dot, and short, rounded ascenders and descenders; numerals are similarly plump and friendly, with simple, highly legible forms.
Best suited to display use such as children’s publishing, playful branding, packaging, posters, and attention-grabbing headlines. It also works well for stickers, labels, and short UI callouts where a friendly, informal voice is desired, while longer text benefits from larger sizes and a bit of added spacing.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a cheerful, cartoon-like energy. Its softened geometry and bouncy spacing read as informal and welcoming, lending a lighthearted personality to headlines and short messaging.
The font appears designed to deliver a soft, approachable display voice with a hand-crafted, rounded look that remains bold and readable. It prioritizes friendliness and visual fun through chunky strokes, open counters, and gently irregular shapes.
The design favors charm over strict geometric consistency: curves vary slightly from glyph to glyph, and diagonal forms (like K, V, W, X) keep a rounded, brushy feel rather than sharp vertexes. The boldness and rounded joins can cause letter shapes to merge visually at tight spacing, so it benefits from comfortable tracking and line spacing.
