A chunky, rounded hand-drawn sans with thick strokes and softened, slightly uneven terminals. The letterforms are compact and tall with a narrow overall footprint, but widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm. Curves are generously inflated (notably in bowls and counters), while joins and corners stay blunted rather than sharp, giving the shapes a sturdy, rubbery feel. Spacing appears open and forgiving, supporting legibility despite the intentionally irregular outlines.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where personality matters: posters, playful branding, packaging, stickers, and social media graphics. It also works well for titles and pull quotes where a friendly, hand-made voice is desired, but is less appropriate for dense body text due to its heavy stroke and pronounced personality.
The overall tone is warm and humorous, with a casual, DIY confidence. Its bouncy proportions and softened shapes read as approachable and kid-friendly, while the bold, inky color gives it strong presence for attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of hand-lettered print with bold, simplified forms that reproduce reliably at display sizes. Its variable widths and rounded construction prioritize friendliness and visual impact over strict geometric precision.
The alphabet shows consistent stroke weight and a deliberately imperfect contour that suggests marker or brush lettering translated into a clean digital form. Numerals follow the same rounded, heavy construction and maintain the informal character of the letters.
