A heavy, soft-cornered sans with chunky strokes and subtly irregular geometry. Curves are generously rounded while terminals often feel slightly angled or “cut,” creating a hand-shaped, collage-like finish rather than a polished geometric build. Counters are compact and unevenly modulated, and the overall rhythm is lively with small shifts in curvature and sidebearings that make lines of text feel animated. Figures follow the same bold, rounded construction with simple, sturdy forms optimized for impact.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage where a friendly, informal voice is desirable. It can also work for short bursts of UI or social graphics, but its strong personality and dense shapes are more effective at larger sizes than in extended reading.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a humorous, slightly offbeat character. Its uneven, hand-made flavor reads as casual and expressive, leaning toward fun signage and kid-friendly energy rather than formal branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a warm, approachable feel—combining bold, rounded forms with intentionally imperfect details to suggest hand-crafted charm and playful expressiveness.
The lowercase shows notable personality in letters like a, g, k, and y, where asymmetric joins and angled terminals add motion. The overall silhouette stays cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals, prioritizing bold shapes and clear, punchy word images.
