A heavy, rounded sans with softly blunted corners and an intentionally uneven, hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with broad curves and simplified counters that stay open and readable at display sizes. Letterforms show subtle wobble and variable geometry—straight stems aren’t perfectly rigid, curves swell and taper slightly, and terminals often end in rounded wedges—creating a lively rhythm across words. The lowercase includes single-storey forms and compact bowls, while numerals are stout and friendly with ample mass and minimal detailing.
Best suited to headlines, short bursts of copy, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing display settings where its playful mass can work as a graphic element. It can also fit children’s products, casual restaurants, or event promotions; for longer reading, larger sizes and comfortable line spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a quirky, cartoon-like warmth. Its chunky silhouettes and gentle irregularity suggest something casual and fun rather than formal or technical, evoking handmade signage, kids’ media, and lighthearted branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly voice with a handmade, characterful texture—prioritizing warmth and impact over precision. It aims to look approachable and memorable in display contexts, where irregularities read as charm rather than noise.
Spacing appears generous for such a dark weight, helping prevent letters from clumping in longer lines. The most distinctive characteristic is the consistent “wobble” in verticals and curves, which adds personality but also makes it feel more illustrative than strictly geometric.
