A heavy, rounded sans with soft curves and subtly irregular, hand-drawn geometry. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth joins, and many terminals are gently blunted rather than sharply cut. Proportions feel slightly compact and “bouncy,” with round counters in O/C/G and a generally generous, open internal space for the weight. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact shoulder on r, and a short, sturdy t with a small crossbar, reinforcing an informal, constructed rhythm.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings such as headlines, logos, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where a friendly, bold presence is needed. It can also work for large UI labels or signage when a warm, approachable tone is desired.
The overall tone is friendly and energetic, with a DIY warmth that reads informal rather than corporate. Its soft shapes and slight quirkiness give it a personable, upbeat voice suited to cheerful or lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, highly legible silhouette while introducing human, slightly playful irregularities. It prioritizes warmth and character over strict geometric precision, aiming for an inviting display voice that still holds together in blocks of text.
The figures are robust and rounded, matching the letterforms’ softness and maintaining a consistent color in text. The overall texture is dense but readable, with enough openness in counters to avoid feeling overly clogged at larger display sizes.
