A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and softly blunted terminals. The letterforms lean on simple, bulbous geometry but keep a subtly uneven, hand-cut edge that prevents the shapes from feeling mechanical. Counters are compact and rounded, spacing is open, and proportions vary slightly between glyphs, giving the overall rhythm a casual, cutout-like texture while staying highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short blurbs, and display copy where its thick, rounded shapes can read cleanly. It works well for playful packaging, event posters, children’s products, casual restaurant or café branding, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a friendly, chunky presence.
The font reads as cheerful and informal, with a warm, approachable tone. Its soft, chunky silhouettes suggest kids’ media, snacks, toys, and lighthearted branding, with a hint of DIY craft or cartoon signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice that combines clean sans structure with a handcrafted, cartoon-like softness. It prioritizes instant readability and personality over strict geometric precision, aiming for a fun, informal feel across letters and numerals.
The uppercase shows sturdy, simplified construction with prominent curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase maintains the same rounded weight and compact counters for a consistent color on the page. Numerals are bold and friendly, matching the letterforms’ soft, slightly irregular finish.
