A heavy, rounded sans with soft, blunted terminals and a subtly wobbly baseline that gives the glyphs a hand-cut, cut-paper feel. Curves dominate the construction (notably in C/G/O/Q and the bowls of B/P/R), while straights are slightly tapered or angled, creating an uneven, lively rhythm across a line. Counters are generally open and generous, and joins are smooth rather than sharp, keeping the texture bold and approachable. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction, with simplified forms and broad strokes that hold together at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings where personality matters more than typographic neutrality—posters, playful branding, packaging, event graphics, and children-oriented materials. It also works well for short headlines and punchy callouts where the bouncy rhythm can be appreciated without compromising readability over long passages.
The overall tone is upbeat and cheeky, with a deliberately imperfect bounce that reads as friendly and cartoon-adjacent. Its exaggerated weight and rounded shapes convey warmth and humor rather than seriousness, making text feel energetic and informal.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with an intentionally irregular, hand-made bounce. The consistent rounded construction and soft terminals suggest a focus on approachability and high-impact readability in large sizes.
The face shows noticeable per-glyph tilt and width variation that adds character but reduces typographic regularity. Letterforms like S, U, and W emphasize a springy, slightly skewed stance, and the punctuation and figures inherit the same playful wobble, reinforcing a consistent display personality.
