A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and a slightly bouncy, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes are thick and broadly uniform, with simple geometric construction softened by gentle tapering and subtly irregular angles. Bowls and counters are open and rounded, terminals are blunt, and curves tend toward circular forms. The overall spacing feels generous for such a dark weight, helping counters stay clear in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, event posters, logos, packaging callouts, and social graphics. Its friendly, chunky voice also fits children’s media and casual editorial display. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable when set large with ample line spacing.
The font reads upbeat and approachable, with a cheerful, slightly goofy tone that feels more handmade than engineered. Its chunky shapes and springy silhouettes give it a retro sign-painting or comic-title energy, prioritizing personality and impact over neutrality.
The design appears intended as a bold display sans that blends geometric roundness with a lightly irregular, human touch. It aims to deliver warmth and immediacy—clear, loud shapes with enough quirk to feel fun and distinctive in branding or titles.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and poster-like, while the lowercase adds extra bounce through curved shoulders and rounded joins. Numerals are similarly bold and friendly, with simple silhouettes that match the letterforms’ soft geometry. The overall color on the page is very dark and attention-grabbing, making it best at larger sizes where the playful shaping is most apparent.
