A monoline, rounded display face with softly irregular, hand-drawn geometry and generous curves. Strokes end in distinctive ball-like terminals that create a beaded, bubbly rhythm across letters and figures. Counters are open and simple, proportions are slightly uneven from glyph to glyph, and forms lean toward simplified print lettering rather than strict typographic construction.
This font works best in short to medium display settings where its terminal-dot texture can be appreciated—children’s titles, playful branding, greeting cards, invitations, and product packaging. It can also support posters and social graphics when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is lighthearted and mischievous, with a childlike craft feel that reads as warm rather than formal. Its dot-ended strokes and uneven rhythm give text a humorous, whimsical voice suited to expressive, characterful messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a deliberately imperfect, hand-made look with a signature dot-terminal motif, prioritizing charm and personality over typographic neutrality. It aims to create an instantly recognizable texture and a friendly, approachable voice in display typography.
The ball terminals become a strong texture at word level, especially in dense text, where they read almost like decorative punctuation along the baseline and cap line. Numerals share the same rounded, informal construction and maintain the same playful texture as the letters.
