A heavy, compact slab-serif display face with softly rounded corners and subtly wavy outlines. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, while letterforms show deliberate irregularities in curvature, serif shapes, and internal spacing that create a bouncing rhythm across words. Counters are relatively small and rounded, terminals often swell into bulb-like ends, and the overall texture feels dense and punchy in text settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact display work such as posters, event promotions, packaging, and playful branding. It can also work for children’s or novelty-themed materials where character and immediacy matter more than extended readability.
The tone is humorous and offbeat, with a vintage show-poster energy. Its friendly wobble and chunky silhouettes read as intentionally imperfect, giving headlines a mischievous, cartoonish character rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual personality at large sizes by combining a sturdy slab-serif skeleton with purposeful wobble, swelling terminals, and irregular spacing. The goal is a memorable, lighthearted display voice that feels crafted and slightly mischievous.
In the sample text, the uneven widths and shifting sidebearings add motion, but also make long passages feel busy. The numerals and capitals keep the same chunky, soft-edged construction, helping the set stay cohesive for bold titling and short statements.
