A heavy, rounded sans with soft terminals and subtly irregular contours that suggest hand-cut or brush-like construction. Strokes are low-contrast and generally monolinear, with gently squashed bowls and slightly uneven curves that add texture without breaking legibility. The uppercase has compact, sturdy proportions with generous counters (notably in O, P, R), while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey a and g and a simple, vertical i/j with round dots. Overall spacing feels open and accommodating, and the numerals match the same chunky, rounded rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and display copy where its friendly, hand-made character can be appreciated. It works well for packaging, café/food branding, children’s or educational materials, event posters, and social graphics, and it can also serve as an accent face alongside a more neutral text font.
The face reads warm and approachable, with a casual, slightly retro craft sensibility. Its soft shapes and mild wobble give it an informal, human tone suited to upbeat, inviting messaging rather than formal or corporate settings.
The design intention appears to be a legible display sans that feels human and tactile, combining sturdy geometry with softened edges and slight irregularity to create an approachable, crafted voice.
The design shows a consistent preference for rounded corners and smooth joins, with occasional notch-like shaping at some junctions that adds character in larger sizes. The x-height appears moderate, and the bold weight plus wide internal counters keep the texture readable even in dense lines.
