A heavy, smooth sans with rounded corners and a lively, hand-drawn-influence. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, with softened joins and occasional teardrop-like notches and scooped counters that create an ink-trap-like sparkle at small interior corners. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with simple bowls and short ascenders/descenders, while the capitals introduce more personality through curled or tucked-in terminals and decorative cut-ins. Numerals are similarly weighty and clear, favoring simple silhouettes with rounded shaping over strict geometric construction.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where the distinctive caps and rounded, weighty shapes can carry personality—posters, packaging, branding marks, and book or game titles. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads, especially when you want a friendly retro flavor without relying on serifs.
The overall tone is friendly and slightly mischievous, mixing solid readability with ornamental quirks. It evokes a retro display sensibility—part sign-painting, part children’s book—without becoming overly ornate. The rhythm feels bouncy and informal, making text appear warm and characterful.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans voice with a decorative edge, using rounded construction and small interior cut-ins to keep dense strokes from feeling flat. It prioritizes memorable word shapes and a cheerful, vintage-leaning presence for display typography.
Capitals are notably more stylized than the lowercase, so mixed-case settings emphasize contrast between expressive headings and steadier text forms. Round letters (O, Q) show pronounced internal shaping, and several glyphs use curled terminals that add motion and give words a distinctive silhouette.
