A high-contrast display sans with softly rounded terminals and a bouncy, hand-drawn rhythm. Many letters combine thick, vertical, pill-like stems with thin hairline curves and joins, creating a strong dark-and-light pattern across words. Counters are generally open and generous, while some forms show intentional asymmetry and idiosyncratic construction (notably in diagonals and bowls). The overall texture is lively and irregular in a controlled way, with variable letter widths and a slightly wavy baseline feel in running text.
Best used for headlines and short text where its contrast and quirky rhythm can be appreciated, such as posters, packaging, book covers, and expressive editorial pull quotes. It can also work for playful branding or children’s-facing materials, especially when paired with a calmer text companion for longer reading.
The font reads as cheerful and characterful, with a hint of vintage poster energy. Its dramatic contrast and quirky shapes give it a theatrical, storybook tone rather than a strict utilitarian voice. The overall impression is warm and informal, suited to designs that want personality and motion.
Designed to provide a bold, personality-forward display voice that feels hand-shaped and spirited while staying in a sans framework. The letterforms prioritize charm and visual punch through exaggerated contrast, rounded finishes, and intentionally unconventional details.
The most distinctive signature is the contrast strategy: heavy upright strokes paired with very thin connecting strokes, which makes curves and diagonals feel delicate next to the dominant stems. In paragraphs the rhythm becomes animated and attention-grabbing, so spacing and line length will strongly affect readability at smaller sizes.
