A chunky, rounded sans with heavy, compact letterforms and softly bulged curves. Strokes stay broadly even while terminals and joins show subtle wobble, giving a hand-drawn, cut-paper feel rather than geometric precision. Counters are relatively small and often circular (notably in O/o and 8), and many shapes lean on simplified construction with slightly irregular curves and angles. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with single-story forms and a prominent, rounded i-dot; overall spacing reads generous for a display face, supporting big, high-impact word shapes.
Best used at display sizes for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding that wants a fun, informal tone. It also fits children’s materials, playful signage, and comic or game UI accents where strong silhouettes and a friendly texture matter more than long-form readability.
The tone is upbeat and mischievous, with a bouncy rhythm that feels kid-friendly and comedic. Its deliberately imperfect contours and inflated proportions create a casual, approachable voice suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate, high-contrast presence with an intentionally playful, hand-shaped personality. Its simplified forms and rounded massing suggest a focus on charm and approachability for short, expressive typographic moments.
The caps have a strong poster presence, while the lowercase keeps the same heft and softness for consistent texture in short lines of text. Numerals match the overall roundness and weight, reading as bold, friendly figures designed to sit comfortably alongside the letters.
