A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and subtly irregular geometry that gives the letters a hand-cut, slightly wobbly feel. Strokes stay broadly consistent, with bulbous curves and compact internal counters that keep the color dense. Terminals are blunt and often angled, and several glyphs show mild asymmetry and varied stance, creating a lively rhythm across words. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey forms where expected and a short, sturdy i/j treatment that reads clearly at display sizes.
Well suited to posters, headlines, packaging, and branding where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It works especially well for children’s media, casual retail, event graphics, and short emphatic phrases, and is less ideal for long passages at small sizes due to its dense counters and strong typographic color.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a cartoon-like friendliness that feels approachable and energetic. Its slight irregularity adds personality without becoming chaotic, making text feel human and spontaneous rather than strictly mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a hand-made, slightly irregular rhythm. Its rounded construction and chunky silhouettes prioritize immediate impact and warmth over strict neutrality or text-setting precision.
The heavy weight and tight apertures make it most at home in larger settings, where the rounded shapes and playful slanting details are most evident. Numbers match the letterforms with similarly chunky silhouettes and simple, bold construction.
