A heavy, rounded sans with softly bulging strokes and subtly tapered joins that create an irregular, hand-cut feel while remaining clean and upright. Counters are generally open and circular (notably in O, o, and 8), with occasional wedge-like terminals and gently pinched transitions that add rhythm. Proportions lean compact in many letters, with wide bowls in B/P/R and a large, circular O; diagonals (V/W/X) are sturdy and simplified. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a tall, narrow l, giving the text a bouncy, uneven color without sacrificing overall cohesion.
Best suited to display applications where character and impact matter: headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that want an upbeat voice. It can work for short passages in larger sizes, but its energetic rhythm and chunky shapes are most effective in titles, taglines, and feature text.
The font reads warm and approachable, with a whimsical, slightly retro sign-painting energy. Its chunky silhouettes and rounded forms feel cheerful and a bit mischievous, making the tone more expressive than neutral.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, friendly presence with a crafted, slightly irregular rhythm—evoking vintage signage and playful editorial typography while keeping forms clearly sans and highly legible at display scale.
Distinctive details include a curving Q tail, a broad, smile-like top on 2 and 3, and numerals that prioritize strong silhouettes over strict geometric regularity. The texture in paragraphs is intentionally lively, with small asymmetries and terminal shaping providing personality at display sizes.
