A heavy, rounded sans with soft terminals and a slightly uneven, hand-drawn edge. Strokes are thick and generally monoline, with broad curves and compact inner counters that stay open enough for clarity at display sizes. Proportions lean wide and squat, and letterforms show subtle irregularities in curve tension and stroke boundaries that create an organic rhythm. The lowercase is simple and single-storey where applicable, and figures are similarly bulbous with friendly, simplified silhouettes.
Best suited for display work such as posters, titles, product packaging, stickers, and logo wordmarks where a bold, friendly presence is needed. It can work for short bursts of text (captions, callouts, social graphics) but is likely to feel dense in long passages at small sizes due to the thick strokes and compact counters.
The overall tone is warm and humorous, with a casual, kid-friendly character. Its inky irregularities and puffy shapes suggest an informal voice—more playful than polished—suited to lighthearted messaging and approachable branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an approachable, handmade feel—combining rounded, simplified shapes with slight irregularity to keep the texture lively and personable. It prioritizes charm and visibility over strict geometric consistency, aiming for an expressive, informal reading experience.
Spacing appears generous and the silhouettes are intentionally lumpy rather than geometric, giving text a lively, cutout-like texture in paragraphs. The heavy weight and small counters make it most effective when set with ample size and breathing room, especially on light backgrounds.
