A heavy, rounded sans with softly tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals that create a brush-cut silhouette. Curves are generous and the stroke endings often narrow into pointed or wedge-like tips, giving the outlines a lively, slightly hand-shaped feel. Counters are generally open and simplified, while joins and diagonals show small asymmetries that add motion. Overall spacing and widths feel intentionally uneven, producing a bouncy rhythm rather than a strictly geometric texture.
Best suited for short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, packaging titles, and brand marks where personality is desirable. It can work well for playful editorial callouts, event graphics, and children’s or entertainment-oriented materials. For long-form reading, the animated stroke endings and irregular rhythm may become visually busy, so it’s strongest at display sizes.
The tone is upbeat and informal, with a quirky mid-century/retro cartoon flavor. Its energetic terminals and softened forms read as friendly and attention-seeking, more expressive than neutral. The overall impression is approachable and fun, suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice by combining rounded sans foundations with brush-like tapering and flared terminals. Its controlled irregularities suggest a deliberate move away from strict neutrality toward a more human, characterful texture.
Uppercase shapes lean toward rounded bowls and compact apertures, while several lowercase forms show distinctive wedge-like entry/exit strokes and occasional droplet-like dots. Numerals share the same tapered, lively construction, keeping a consistent display-oriented personality across letters and figures.
