A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are thick and largely monoline, with gently uneven curves and subtle wobble that keeps counters open but not perfectly symmetrical. Proportions are compact with broad, bowl-like forms and a generally sturdy footprint; some letters show small idiosyncrasies at terminals and joins that add character. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded construction and read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and social graphics where a bold, friendly presence is needed. It can work well for children’s content, casual food and beverage branding, event promos, and logo wordmarks, especially when set large or with ample tracking.
The overall tone is warm and humorous, with a casual, approachable voice. Its inflated shapes and mild unevenness evoke a retro, cartoon and craft sensibility rather than a strict, corporate feel.
Likely designed to provide a bold, approachable display voice with rounded, characterful shapes that feel hand-made and fun while remaining broadly legible.
The font maintains consistent weight and rounding across caps, lowercase, and figures, while allowing small shape quirks (notably in diagonals and curved joins) that contribute to a lively rhythm. Spacing appears generous enough for headlines, and the forms prefer larger sizes where the soft details and rounded silhouettes can breathe.
