A heavy, rounded sans with soft terminals and subtly uneven stroke behavior that creates a hand-made, cut-paper feel. Counters are generally open and simple, with rounded rectangles and ovals recurring across the design; curves dominate and corners are blunted rather than sharply engineered. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the set an informal rhythm, while spacing remains readable in text. Numerals and punctuation follow the same chunky, softened construction, with a particularly bulbous 0 and friendly, simplified forms overall.
Works best for headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a friendly, attention-getting texture is desirable. It also suits children’s media and casual editorial callouts, and can be effective for short UI labels when you want a softer, less corporate sans presence.
The tone is warm and casual, leaning playful and slightly retro. Its chunky silhouettes and softened edges read as welcoming rather than technical, suggesting a human, conversational voice with a bit of quirky charm.
Likely designed to offer a bold, approachable sans alternative with a deliberately imperfect, hand-shaped warmth. The aim appears to be strong legibility through simple forms, combined with personality through softened geometry and varied proportions.
Several shapes show intentional idiosyncrasies—like slightly lopsided bowls and asymmetrical joins—that add personality at display sizes. The bold massing can start to close up at small sizes in dense text, but holds up well where you want strong, simple letterforms with character.
