A heavy, rounded sans with a notably wide stance and gently swollen curves. Strokes are sturdy with softly eased joins and subtly irregular, hand-cut inflections that keep forms from feeling mechanically perfect. Counters are generous and open, and the overall rhythm is relaxed, with round letters (O, Q, o) reading as broad ellipses and straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) retaining a mild, organic wobble. Terminals tend to be blunt and softened rather than sharply cut, supporting a robust, poster-ready texture.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a friendly, characterful voice is desired. The wide proportions and sturdy strokes make it effective for display settings, short phrases, and signage where presence matters more than compact text economy.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly vintage, cartoon-adjacent warmth. Its wide, cushioned shapes feel friendly and informal, suggesting handcrafted signage and lighthearted display typography rather than strict corporate neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a confident, approachable display sans with a handmade feel—combining broad proportions, rounded construction, and slight irregularity to create a memorable, upbeat voice.
The sample text shows strong dark color and high impact at large sizes, with a distinctive, gently uneven texture that adds personality. The numerals follow the same rounded, weighty logic, giving a cohesive look for headlines and short bursts of information.
