A heavy, soft-edged sans with irregular, wedge-like cuts and subtly uneven geometry that gives each glyph a hand-shaped feel. Strokes stay broadly consistent, with rounded joins and corners tempered by angled, chiseled terminals. Proportions vary from letter to letter, and many forms lean or wobble slightly, creating a bouncy rhythm rather than a rigid grid. Counters are open and simple, and the overall silhouette reads as compact and sturdy with a lively, slightly distorted baseline and cap line impression in text.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its quirky silhouettes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, covers, packaging, and playful branding. It can also work for kids-oriented materials and informal signage, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the angled terminals and uneven rhythm remain clear.
The tone is friendly and humorous, with a lighthearted, cartoon energy. Its irregularity feels casual and human, suggesting spontaneity and fun rather than precision or formality. The bold, chunky shapes project confidence and approachability, making the font feel expressive and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice by combining simple sans structures with deliberate irregularities and chiseled, wedge-like terminals. The goal is impact with personality—legible at a glance, but with enough handmade character to feel distinctive and fun.
Round letters like O, Q, and G show a soft, inflated feel, while straight-sided letters (E, F, T, I) emphasize the characteristic angled cuts at terminals. Numerals maintain the same chunky presence and playful asymmetry, supporting display use alongside the alphabet without feeling like a separate style.
