A heavy, rounded sans with chunky, compact letterforms and softened corners. Strokes appear brush- or marker-like, with subtly uneven edges and slight inking wobble that gives each glyph an organic, cutout feel while staying broadly consistent. Counters are relatively small and enclosed, terminals are blunt, and curves are full and bulbous, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy with a single-storey a and g, and the numerals match the same thick, rounded construction.
Best suited to short headlines and display settings where its weight and textured edges can be appreciated—posters, packaging, labels, social graphics, and expressive branding. It can also work for playful signage and kid-oriented or craft-themed applications, while long passages may feel heavy due to the dense color and small counters.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a handmade energy that feels approachable and a bit mischievous. Its bold, soft shapes read as friendly and fun rather than strict or technical, evoking a casual retro display sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, hand-rendered personality: a bold rounded sans that reads quickly, feels tactile, and brings an informal, crafted character to display typography.
In the sample text, the dark color and tight internal spaces create strong massing and a slightly noisy texture at smaller sizes, while larger sizes emphasize the charming irregularities. Round letters like O, Q, and 0 feel especially plush, and verticals maintain a sturdy, poster-like presence.
