A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and softly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the counters are generous, keeping the forms open despite the dense weight. Many terminals appear subtly wedge-cut or angled, adding a hand-cut, irregular rhythm; several glyphs show gentle baseline and side-to-side wobble that creates a lively, uneven texture. The uppercase is compact and sturdy, while the lowercase has simple, single-storey shapes and big, circular bowls that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to display roles where its mass and personality can carry—headlines, posters, apparel graphics, packaging, and cheerful brand marks. It also works well for short captions and punchy callouts where a friendly, informal voice is desired, but the heavy texture may feel crowded in long body text.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly off-kilter, handmade feel. Its chunky shapes and subtle irregularities evoke a playful, retro sign-painting or cut-paper sensibility rather than a strictly geometric, clinical voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a welcoming, humorous character—combining sturdy, rounded letterforms with small irregularities to avoid stiffness and to suggest a handmade, expressive origin.
The set favors rounded construction with occasional sharp facets on joins and terminals, which gives contrast in texture without introducing fine details. Numerals are bold and simplified, matching the same bouncy silhouette and reading well as attention-grabbing figures.
