A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and slightly irregular contours that give it a hand-cut, organic feel. Strokes are broadly even and compact, with generous rounding at terminals and joins; counters are open but often asymmetrical, creating a lively rhythm. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with wide, buoyant curves (O, C, S) contrasted by narrower, column-like forms (I, l), and diagonals that feel slightly sprung rather than rigid. The lowercase is simple and single-storey where applicable, with a prominent, blocky dot on i/j and a gently hooked descender on j.
Well suited to short-form display settings where personality is the priority—posters, headlines, branding lockups, packaging, and playful editorial callouts. It can also work for children’s content or retro-themed graphics, where the rounded shapes and irregular rhythm reinforce a friendly, approachable message.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, leaning toward a cartoon and mid-century display sensibility rather than a strict geometric or neo-grotesque voice. Its deliberate unevenness reads as personable and handmade, conveying warmth and a bit of mischief while staying highly legible at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a soft, high-impact sans that feels handmade and charming, prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and a buoyant word texture over strict uniformity. It aims to be approachable and attention-getting for display typography.
Spacing and silhouette are designed for impact: letters appear slightly swollen and compressed in different places, producing a dynamic, bouncy texture in words. Numerals follow the same softened, chunky construction, with simple, bold shapes intended to read quickly.
