A chunky, rounded sans with heavily inflated strokes and softly squarish counters. Letterforms show a subtly hand-cut, organic irregularity: curves wobble slightly, terminals look pressed and blunt, and joins are thick and simplified. Counters are relatively small and often asymmetrical (notably in B, P, R, and g), while bowls and shoulders lean toward bulbous, compact shapes. Overall spacing feels sturdy and dense, with a consistent, poster-like color on the page.
Best used at display sizes where the chunky shapes and quirky irregularities can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, packaging, stickers, and playful branding. It can work for short UI labels or social graphics when a warm, informal tone is desired, but the dense counters and heavy ink presence make it less suitable for long text.
The font reads as friendly and humorous, with a deliberately imperfect, tactile feel that suggests craft, cut-paper, or marker-made display lettering. Its weight and roundness give it a cozy, approachable personality suited to upbeat or kid-friendly communication.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, approachable silhouette, combining bold massing with an intentionally hand-made unevenness. It prioritizes character and friendliness over strict geometric precision, aiming for expressive, attention-grabbing display typography.
Distinctive details include a single-storey a, a simple single-storey g with a pronounced lower bowl, and numerals that are stout and rounded (the 1 is a thick vertical with a small cap-like start; the 2 and 3 have soft, swollen curves). The lowercase i and j use compact square-ish dots that match the blocky rhythm of the design.
