A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm. Curves are broad and pillowy, with softened joins and terminals that often taper or angle subtly, giving letters a lively, uneven stance without becoming truly slanted. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and spacing feels compact, producing dense, headline-ready word shapes. Numerals follow the same bold, rounded construction with simple, high-impact silhouettes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging, and attention-grabbing UI labels. It also fits playful editorial or children’s-oriented materials where a friendly, bold tone is desired, and where sizes are large enough to keep the dense counters comfortable.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a buoyant, cartoon-forward energy. Its bouncy shapes and slightly wobbly texture read as approachable and fun rather than technical or corporate, making the voice feel confident, loud, and friendly.
Designed to deliver maximum visual presence with an approachable, rounded personality. The letterforms prioritize bold silhouette recognition and a lively, slightly hand-made texture to create an expressive display voice.
Uppercase forms look sturdy and geometric at a distance, but small asymmetries and angled cuts add character in continuous text. Dots and small interior spaces stay clear at display sizes, while the tight counters and heavy color can feel compact in longer passages.
