A heavy, soft-edged sans with slightly irregular geometry and a gently wobbly baseline rhythm. Strokes are thick and even, with rounded corners and simplified joins that keep counters open despite the weight. Several letters show subtle tilt and off-axis curves, giving the set a handmade, cut-out feel rather than strict mechanical construction. Proportions are generally compact with sturdy stems, and spacing reads comfortably loose in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a friendly, expressive voice. It also works well for children’s materials and casual signage where impact and warmth are more important than strict typographic neutrality.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, leaning into a whimsical, informal character. Its uneven energy suggests spontaneity and humor, making text feel lively and unpretentious rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact with a personable, hand-made feel, combining thick, simple letterforms with playful irregularities to avoid a sterile geometric look.
The bold massing and softened details create strong silhouettes that read quickly at larger sizes, while the intentional irregularity adds personality. Numerals match the same rounded, chunky construction, keeping the texture consistent across mixed text.
