A rounded sans with thick, largely even strokes and softly blunted terminals. Forms lean on simple curves and straight stems with gentle corner rounding, creating a slightly irregular, hand-shaped feel while staying visually consistent across the set. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be modest, which reinforces the dense, dark texture. Overall proportions are condensed, with tall caps and tidy lowercase that keeps ascenders and descenders noticeable but controlled.
Best suited to headlines, short captions, packaging, and signage where a friendly voice and high contrast against the background are desired. It can also work well for children’s materials, event promos, and casual branding, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded details and tight counters read cleanly.
The tone is warm and personable, with a lighthearted, crafted character that feels more human than mechanical. Its bouncy shapes and softened endings suggest an easygoing, kid-friendly mood while remaining clear enough for everyday display use.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable, informal sans for display contexts, combining a condensed footprint with soft, rounded shaping. It prioritizes personality and punchy presence, offering a handcrafted feel without resorting to decorative flourishes.
The alphabet shows intentional simplification in construction—single-storey lowercase shapes and straightforward numerals—favoring charm and uniformity over strict geometric precision. The heavy weight and narrow set make spacing and rhythm feel tight, producing strong visual presence in short bursts of text.
