A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and softly cut terminals. Letterforms are intentionally irregular: stems wobble, bowls bulge, and counters vary slightly in size and placement, creating a hand-shaped feel despite the solid, monoline weight. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and corners often look slightly pinched or skewed, giving the alphabet a lively, uneven rhythm. The set reads clearly at display sizes, with distinctive silhouettes across both uppercase and lowercase as well as sturdy, simple numerals.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, playful branding, packaging, and event or campaign headlines. It also works well for children’s materials, games, and social graphics where a friendly, comedic voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is lighthearted and mischievous, like cut-paper lettering or a cartoon title card. Its uneven bounce adds warmth and informality, suggesting humor, kid-friendly energy, and an approachable, homemade charm.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice by combining a thick sans foundation with deliberately wonky geometry. The goal is strong impact and instant personality rather than typographic neutrality, emphasizing lively rhythm and distinctive word shapes.
The font’s character comes from controlled inconsistency: similar shapes repeat with subtle variations, which keeps words visually animated. The forms remain compact and robust, with counters kept open enough for legibility, while the irregular baseline and shifting widths add personality.
