A compact, heavy sans with subtly irregular, hand-drawn construction and an animated baseline rhythm. Strokes are consistently thick with rounded joins and softened corners, while terminals alternate between blunt cuts and gently tapered ends that add a slightly wobbly texture. Counters are generous and mostly open, helping letters stay readable despite the condensed proportions. Several forms lean into asymmetry and simplified geometry—single-storey lowercase shapes, bulb-like bowls, and occasional angled cuts—creating a lively, informal texture in text.
Best suited to display roles where personality is desired—headlines, posters, social graphics, and packaging callouts. It also fits kid-focused materials and lighthearted editorial sidebars where a casual, friendly voice is appropriate. For longer passages, it will work more comfortably at larger sizes where its irregularities and tight proportions remain clear.
The tone is cheerful and approachable, with a homemade, slightly mischievous personality. Its uneven details and buoyant shapes feel conversational rather than corporate, suggesting humor, craft, and youthful energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans voice with hand-made charm, prioritizing character and immediacy over strict typographic neutrality. Its condensed footprint and chunky shapes suggest it was built to grab attention quickly while staying readable in short, energetic lines.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent weight and softness, but the overall set embraces small inconsistencies that read as intentional character rather than strict mechanical precision. Numerals match the same chunky, informal style, making them visually cohesive in headlines and short callouts.
