A heavy, rounded sans with soft terminals and a subtly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and curves dominate the construction, giving counters and bowls a smooth, inflated feel. Many glyphs show slight tilts and gentle baseline wobble, creating a lively texture in text while keeping overall forms clear and compact. Uppercase shapes are sturdy and broad, lowercase is simple and open, and figures are bold and readable with rounded corners and straightforward construction.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where personality matters: headlines, posters, packaging, and promotional graphics. It also fits children’s materials, playful branding, and social media content where a friendly, informal voice is desired.
The font projects a warm, approachable tone with a deliberately imperfect, human touch. Its buoyant proportions and slight wobble add humor and friendliness, making it feel relaxed rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of a simple sans with the charm of a hand-rendered, slightly wobbly silhouette. It prioritizes approachability and visual bounce, aiming for a bold, friendly presence that remains legible at typical display sizes.
Round punctuation dots and the generally softened joins reinforce the friendly character. The irregularity reads as intentional and consistent across the set, lending personality without becoming overly decorative.
