A heavy, rounded sans with soft, bulging curves and a deliberately uneven, cut-paper rhythm. Strokes stay consistently thick, but terminals and joints show subtle wobble and shifting angles that make the silhouettes feel hand-shaped rather than mechanically perfect. Counters are generally compact and circular, with simplified construction and occasional angular nicks that add character. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across letters, creating an animated texture in words while remaining solid and legible at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and playful branding where personality matters more than typographic neutrality. It can work well in children’s materials, event graphics, and bold social media layouts. For longer passages, its heavy color and lively irregularity are more effective in brief bursts than in extended reading.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a bouncy, comedic energy. Its chunky forms and gentle imperfections read as approachable and kid-friendly, while the dark mass gives it a bold, poster-like presence. The font suggests craft, play, and a slightly mischievous personality rather than corporate polish.
Designed to deliver maximum visual warmth and punch through rounded, inflated shapes and intentional irregularities. The construction prioritizes a friendly, handcrafted presence that remains readable while injecting humor and motion into display typography.
The figures and lowercase follow the same soft, irregular geometry, keeping a cohesive set for headlines. Round letters (like O/0) are especially inflated and dominant, while diagonals and joins (such as in K, V, W, X) lean into chunky, faceted cuts that reinforce the handmade feel.
