A rounded sans with heavy, softly contoured strokes and minimal sharp corners. Curves are generously swollen and terminals are blunt, giving letters a pillowy silhouette. Proportions feel slightly irregular in a hand-drawn way, with a lively rhythm and small inconsistencies in curves and joins that keep the texture animated in text. Counters are compact but open enough to hold up at larger sizes, and circular forms like O and o read as smooth, slightly squashed rounds.
Best suited to headlines, short blurbs, and branding where a friendly, playful texture is desirable—such as children’s materials, snack or beverage packaging, posters, and social graphics. It can work for brief UI labels or callouts, but its heavy, rounded construction is most effective when given enough size and spacing to breathe.
The overall tone is warm and upbeat, with a kid-friendly, homemade personality rather than a strict geometric or corporate feel. Its soft edges and bouncy shapes create an inviting, lighthearted voice that fits humorous or conversational messaging.
Designed to deliver an approachable, cheerful sans that feels hand-made and rounded, prioritizing personality and warmth over strict uniformity. The consistent soft terminals and inflated curves suggest an intention to look friendly and contemporary while remaining simple and highly legible at display sizes.
Uppercase forms keep simple construction with rounded corners, while the lowercase leans more conversational, enhancing the informal feel. Numerals match the same soft, chunky logic and stand out clearly, particularly in display settings where the rounded shaping can be appreciated.
