A heavy, soft-cornered sans with mostly uniform stroke weight and deliberately irregular geometry. Letterforms feel hand-cut and slightly wobbly, with inconsistent angles and subtly shifting widths that create a lively rhythm. Counters are generally open and rounded, terminals are blunt, and curves lean toward circular, inflated shapes (notably in O/C/G). The lowercase is compact with a simple single-storey a and g, a short-armed t, and a dot on i/j that reads as a clean, centered circle; figures are similarly chunky with smooth, rounded bowls and strong presence.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, social graphics, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It can work for brief paragraphs in large sizes where its irregular rhythm becomes a feature, but it is likely to feel busy for long-form reading.
The overall tone is upbeat and humorous, with a homemade, slightly off-kilter charm. Its uneven stance and soft shapes give it a kid-friendly, approachable personality that reads more like expressive display lettering than strict, neutral typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly voice with hand-made energy—prioritizing character and approachability over strict geometric consistency. It aims to stand out in display settings with soft, chunky forms and a deliberately quirky cadence.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with broad joins and minimal interior detail; diagonals and crossbars vary in angle enough to feel intentionally imperfect. Spacing looks generous at display sizes, helping the dense strokes stay readable despite the playful irregularities.
