A compact, heavy sans with soft, rounded-rectangle construction and subtly irregular contours. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with rounded terminals and slightly squashed counters that emphasize a dense, punchy texture. Letterforms show gentle wobble in curves and corners, giving a hand-cut or rubber-stamp feel while staying legible. Proportions are tight with short extenders and a sturdy baseline presence; figures match the same chunky, rounded rhythm.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, splashy headlines, packaging, labels, and playful branding where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It can also work well for stickers, merch, and social graphics, especially at medium to large sizes where its soft corners and chunky counters read clearly.
The font projects a lighthearted, approachable tone with a mischievous edge. Its bouncy silhouettes and softened geometry evoke retro novelty lettering and playful display typography, making text feel casual and characterful rather than formal or technical.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with an approachable, cartoon-leaning personality. By combining rounded-rectangle construction with slightly imperfect outlines, it balances geometric simplicity with a handcrafted, novelty feel tailored to attention-grabbing titles and branding accents.
Round letters (like O/C/G) lean toward superelliptical shapes, and straight-sided forms (E/F/T/I) keep broad, blunt ends that enhance the poster-like weight. The overall rhythm is slightly uneven in a deliberate way, which adds personality and helps it stand out in short phrases and headlines.
