A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and swollen strokes that feel slightly irregular, as if cut or brushed by hand. Counters are generous and mostly rounded, keeping the interior space open despite the thick weight. The outlines show subtle wobble and unevenness, creating an organic rhythm rather than a mechanically consistent curve. Terminals are blunt and smooth, and the overall construction favors simplified, compact shapes with a lively, slightly lumpy texture.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, packaging, social graphics, and bold headlines where its chunky texture can be appreciated. It also works well for playful branding, children’s materials, and short callouts or labels. For longer text, it benefits from larger sizes and generous leading to avoid a too-solid typographic block.
The tone is warm, humorous, and approachable, with a distinctly handmade character that reads as informal and expressive. Its bouncy silhouettes and imperfect edges give it a craft or kid-friendly energy, suggesting spontaneity and fun over precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly voice with an intentionally imperfect, handmade finish. It prioritizes immediacy and character—round, simplified forms and soft edges—aimed at cheerful, approachable communication in attention-grabbing settings.
Capitals and lowercase share a cohesive, rounded skeleton with minimal detail, and several forms lean toward simplified, cartoon-like geometry. Numerals are stout and highly legible at display sizes, matching the same soft, cutout-like edge quality seen in the letters. The overall color on the page is dense, so spacing and line length become important for comfortable reading in paragraphs.
