A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and softly bulging curves that create a deliberately imperfect, hand-drawn silhouette. Terminals are blunt and slightly uneven, with subtle wobble along stems and bowls that reads as inked or marker-like rather than mechanically precise. Counters are generally open and simple, and the overall construction favors compact, robust shapes that hold together in dense settings. Widths vary by character, adding a lively rhythm across words while keeping a consistent, bold color on the page.
Well-suited for posters, product packaging, merch, stickers, and other designs that benefit from a bold, friendly voice. It works best for headlines, short phrases, and branding moments where texture and charm are desirable over strict regularity.
The font conveys a warm, informal personality that feels approachable and a bit mischievous. Its irregular outlines and bouncy proportions suggest craft, humor, and human touch, making text feel less corporate and more conversational.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, approachable display sans that mimics hand-drawn lettering while staying highly legible. The goal appears to be character and warmth through controlled irregularity and rounded, simplified forms.
In the sample text, the strong fill and soft geometry maintain high impact at display sizes, while the intentional roughness becomes more noticeable as lines get longer. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction, supporting cohesive headlines and short callouts.
