A chunky, rounded sans with a consistent left-leaning slant and softly irregular contours that feel cut or drawn rather than mechanically constructed. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, with rounded terminals and generous curves that keep counters open despite the weight. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; circular forms (O, o, 0) are broad and smooth while diagonals (K, V, W, X) read bold and wedge-like. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with single-storey shapes and simple joins that favor clarity over precision.
Best suited to display work where personality and impact matter—children’s materials, playful branding, packaging, posters, and short headlines. It can also work for captions or UI accents when used sparingly and at comfortable sizes, where its slant and irregular rhythm remain legible.
The overall tone is upbeat and humorous, with a casual, kid-friendly energy. Its wobble and exaggerated shapes suggest motion and spontaneity, giving text a warm, approachable personality that feels more like hand-made lettering than a formal typeface.
Likely intended as a fun, attention-grabbing display sans that adds a hand-made, cartoonish voice to typography. The design prioritizes bold presence and charm through rounded shapes, simplified construction, and an intentionally imperfect rhythm.
The strong slant and irregular width give lines of text a distinctive bounce, especially in mixed-case settings. Numerals are thick and simplified, matching the rounded, poster-like character of the letters and maintaining high visual impact at larger sizes.
