A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and gently irregular, hand-rendered contours. Strokes stay broadly even with minimal contrast, but show subtle wobble and organic modulation that keeps counters open and shapes lively. Round letters (O, C, G, e) are slightly squarish/oval in feel, while straights (E, F, H, I) remain thick and blunt-ended rather than crisp. The lowercase is simple and compact with single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and a generally sturdy, slightly condensed rhythm that reads well at larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines, short paragraphs, and display copy where a friendly, informal personality is desired. It works well for packaging, café/food brands, children’s content, event posters, and social graphics, especially when set with generous leading and moderate tracking.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a cheerful handmade warmth that feels friendly rather than strict. Its rounded geometry and mild irregularities give it a comic, kid-friendly voice that can also read as contemporary and human.
The font appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans voice with a hand-drawn flavor—prioritizing warmth, legibility, and personality over strict geometric precision.
The design favors clarity through wide, uncomplicated counters and uncomplicated joins, with distinctive, slightly uneven terminals that prevent it from feeling mechanical. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded construction, staying consistent in color and spacing.
