A heavy, rounded sans with an intentionally irregular silhouette and softly bulging strokes. Letterforms are built from compact, chunky shapes with low internal counters and noticeably uneven edge tension, producing a wobbly, hand-cut feel despite the solid fill. Curves are full and blunt, terminals are generally rounded, and joins are thickened, creating strong black density. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with slight width swings and a gently shifting rhythm that keeps lines of text lively rather than rigidly uniform.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where personality matters more than precision—children’s materials, playful posters, event promos, casual packaging, stickers, and comic-style titling. It also works well for logos or badges that benefit from a friendly, hand-made feel.
The overall tone is cheerful and humorous, with a casual, slightly mischievous energy. Its uneven rhythm and inflated forms read as approachable and kid-friendly, closer to cartoon lettering than formal branding typography.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, approachable display voice through rounded forms and deliberate irregularity, evoking hand-drawn or cut-paper lettering while remaining simple and sans in construction.
At display sizes the irregularities read as character and motion; in longer passages the dense counters and wobble can reduce clarity, especially in tight settings. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, matching the font’s playful, cutout-like personality.
