A chunky display serif with soft, bulbous terminals and uneven, hand-shaped contours. Strokes swell and taper subtly, with flared, wedge-like serifs and rounded corners that keep the forms friendly rather than sharp. Counters tend to be compact and organic, and the baseline rhythm feels slightly bouncy due to asymmetrical joins and varied internal spacing. Capitals are broad and poster-like, while lowercase shows simplified, single-storey shapes and a compact, sturdy texture.
Best suited for short-form display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and identity accents where personality is the priority. It can work in larger sizes for punchy subheads or pull quotes, but the dense stroke weight and quirky spacing make it less ideal for extended small-size reading.
The overall tone is retro and lighthearted, evoking a groovy, festival-poster sensibility with a warm, cartoonish friendliness. Its irregularities read as intentionally handmade, giving text a lively, quirky cadence that feels more expressive than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctly groovy, handmade display voice—combining stout letterforms with soft, flared serifs and playful irregularity to create immediate visual impact and a nostalgic, upbeat mood.
In longer lines the heavy color and soft serifs create a strong, dark typographic mass, while the irregular curves add motion. Numerals share the same blobby, flared treatment, staying consistent with the display character.
