A heavy, blocky sans with rounded corners and subtly irregular outlines that create a hand-cut, slightly wobbly silhouette. Curves are full and open, counters are generous, and terminals tend to end in blunt, soft-edged cuts rather than crisp geometry. Uppercase forms read compact and sturdy, while lowercase letters introduce more asymmetry and bounce, giving the rhythm a lively, uneven cadence. Numerals follow the same chunky construction with simplified, highly legible shapes.
Best suited to display use such as posters, headlines, packaging, and playful branding where its chunky presence and friendly irregularity can carry the message. It works well for children’s materials, event graphics, stickers, and short callouts where character is more important than typographic neutrality.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a cartoon-like friendliness and a touch of eccentricity. Its slight inconsistencies feel intentional, lending warmth and personality rather than precision. The voice is more fun and approachable than corporate or neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a deliberately imperfect, handmade feel. Its simplified construction and open counters suggest an intention to stay readable while emphasizing fun, personality, and visual impact.
The design leans on bold, simplified letterforms and open counters to maintain clarity despite the heavy weight. The irregular contouring is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive ‘handmade’ texture that becomes more noticeable in longer text settings.
