A chunky, soft-edged sans with subtly flared terminals and a lively, irregular rhythm. Strokes are full and confident, with rounded joins and counters that stay open at display sizes. Several forms introduce gentle asymmetry and wedge-like endings, creating a hand-cut feel while maintaining a consistent overall structure. The lowercase shows compact, simplified shapes with distinctive tails and hooks, and the numerals follow the same sturdy, rounded construction.
Best suited to display typography where personality is a priority: headlines, posters, covers, and brand marks. It can also work well for packaging, labels, and short editorial callouts where its bouncy texture adds charm, while longer paragraphs may feel visually busy at smaller sizes.
The tone feels warm and characterful, leaning whimsical rather than technical. Its shapes suggest an informal, handcrafted sensibility—more playful and expressive than neutral—while still reading clearly in short bursts.
The font appears designed to deliver a friendly, idiosyncratic voice within a sans framework—combining sturdy readability with playful terminal shapes and a slightly eclectic construction to stand out in branding and titles.
The design mixes near-geometric bowls with occasional calligraphic-like flicks in strokes and terminals, producing a distinctive texture in words. Spacing appears comfortable for headlines, and the silhouette stays strong even when letters vary slightly in width and detail.
