A heavy, rounded sans with soft terminals and a consistently thick stroke that reads as low-contrast throughout. Many forms are built from broad curves and compressed counters, with frequent teardrop-like notches and inward scoops that resemble ink traps, creating a lively, carved-out look. Uppercase and lowercase share a friendly, compact rhythm; bowls are plump, joins are smoothed, and several letters use distinctive looped or pinched strokes (notably in curved letters and the diagonals). Numerals follow the same rounded, cut-in detailing, with clear, bold silhouettes and decorative internal shaping.
Best suited to short display settings where its internal cut-ins and swashy details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work well for playful editorial callouts or children’s-oriented materials, but will read busiest at small sizes in long passages.
The overall tone is buoyant and characterful, leaning toward mid-century and pop-influenced display typography. Its quirky cut-ins and looped gestures give it a mischievous, handmade energy while remaining clean enough to feel like a designed, coherent system.
The font appears designed to deliver a friendly, memorable display voice by combining chunky rounded construction with intentionally quirky interior cutouts and looped stroke behavior. The goal seems to be strong recognizability and a cheerful retro-leaning personality rather than neutral text performance.
The design emphasizes silhouette and interior negative shapes over strict geometric construction, so letters feel animated and slightly idiosyncratic. The distinctive notches and curled joins are strong identifying traits that become more pronounced as size increases.
