A heavy, low-contrast sans with chunky strokes and softened corners. The letterforms have a deliberately irregular, hand-cut feel: verticals and bowls show subtle waviness, counters are generous, and curves are slightly lopsided in a consistent way. Proportions lean wide and open, with round forms (O, C, G) reading as near-circular and straight strokes kept simple and blunt. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, a rounded-shoulder n/m, and a short, simple r; punctuation-like dots (i/j) appear large and circular, reinforcing the informal rhythm.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text such as headlines, posters, playful branding, and packaging where personality and warmth are desired. It can also work for kid-oriented materials and informal signage, especially at larger sizes where its bouncy irregularities read as intentional character.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a charmingly imperfect rhythm that feels handmade rather than mechanical. Its buoyant shapes and soft terminals give it a kid-friendly, lighthearted voice, while the strong weight keeps it punchy and confident in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a friendly, handcrafted sans look with bold presence, prioritizing charm and approachability over strict typographic precision. Its softened geometry and lively inconsistency suggest a focus on expressive display typography that remains highly legible.
Several glyphs show intentional asymmetry and slight tilt or wobble in strokes, creating a lively texture across words. Numerals are similarly chunky and simplified, with clear silhouettes that favor impact over strict geometric uniformity.
