A heavy, rounded sans with softly blunted terminals and subtly irregular stroke edges that give the outlines a cut-paper, hand-shaped feel. Curves are full and open, counters are generously rounded, and joins tend to be smooth rather than sharply angular. Proportions vary slightly from glyph to glyph, with a gently uneven baseline and small quirks in how strokes taper or bulge, creating a lively rhythm while staying clearly legible. The figures match the letterforms with simple, sturdy shapes and consistent, rounded geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and playful branding. It also fits children’s materials, comics, and casual social graphics where a friendly, hand-made impression is desirable.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a homemade, kid-friendly energy. Its slightly wobbly construction reads as expressive and human rather than engineered, making it feel casual, warm, and a bit mischievous.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, accessible sans voice with intentional imperfections for charm and character. It prioritizes immediate readability and a fun, tactile personality over strict geometric precision.
Uppercase forms feel compact and blocky, while lowercase shapes lean toward simple single-storey constructions and rounded bowls, reinforcing an informal voice. The sample text shows the font holding together well at display sizes, where its playful irregularities become part of the texture and personality.
