A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and subtly irregular contours that give each glyph a hand-cut, rubbery feel. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal contrast, and the forms lean on compact bowls, wide counters, and slightly wobbly outer silhouettes rather than strict geometry. Terminals are blunt and rounded, curves are generously inflated, and joins often look gently pinched, producing a lively, uneven rhythm. The lowercase maintains a straightforward construction with a single-storey a and g, while figures are similarly bulbous and simplified for strong shape recognition at display sizes.
Well-suited to short, attention-grabbing display copy such as posters, headlines, packaging, and playful brand marks. It can work for kids’ products, events, or casual signage where warmth and personality are more important than typographic neutrality.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a bouncy, kid-friendly energy. Its soft, puffy shapes feel approachable and comedic, suggesting playful branding and lighthearted messaging rather than seriousness or restraint.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, friendly display voice with deliberate irregularity—prioritizing charm, approachability, and instant impact over precision and text efficiency.
Spacing appears intentionally loose and the varied silhouette widths add a handmade cadence across lines of text. In paragraph-like settings it reads best when used large, where the quirky contours and big counters can be appreciated without crowding.
