A heavy, rounded sans with soft terminals and gently irregular strokes that evoke a drawn marker or brush-pen feel. Curves are full and open, counters are generous, and joins are cushioned rather than sharp, producing a smooth, almost pillowy silhouette. Proportions lean broad with sturdy verticals and simplified geometry; diagonals and arms (as in K, R, and y) have slightly uneven, organic angles that add bounce. The lowercase is simple and approachable, with a single-storey a and g and compact, rounded punctuation and numerals that match the overall weight.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that want an inviting, informal voice. It also suits children’s materials, café or craft-oriented signage, and social graphics where legibility and friendliness matter more than formality.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a casual, handmade warmth. Its rounded shapes and subtle irregularity read as friendly and kid-safe, while the dark, solid color gives it confident presence for attention-grabbing lines.
Likely designed to provide a bold, approachable display sans that feels human and hand-made while staying clean and highly legible. The softened corners and rounded construction aim to communicate warmth and playfulness without sacrificing clarity.
Texture comes from small variations in stroke edge and curvature rather than contrast, so the face feels lively without becoming distressed. In longer text the rhythm stays coherent, but the strong weight and playful forms keep it more suited to display sizes than dense reading.
