A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and an intentionally irregular, hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, but with subtle wobble and uneven terminals that create a lively rhythm. Counters are open and rounded, and the overall silhouette leans slightly condensed in places due to the chunky stroke weight, while spacing stays generous enough for clarity at display sizes. Forms favor simple geometry, with blunt joins and occasional asymmetry that reads as deliberate rather than distorted.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a friendly, casual impression is desired. It also works well for children’s materials, playful signage, and social graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded texture and irregularities read as intentional character.
The font conveys a warm, approachable tone with a playful, informal voice. Its slightly rough, handmade edges give it a craft-like personality that feels friendly and humorous rather than strict or corporate.
The design appears intended to offer a robust, approachable sans with a handmade flavor—combining simple rounded construction with subtle irregularities to add warmth and personality while staying highly legible in display settings.
Uppercase characters are sturdy and blocky with softened edges, and the lowercase maintains the same rounded construction with compact ascenders/descenders. Numerals are similarly bulbous and simple, matching the overall texture and making the set feel cohesive in headlines and short bursts of text.
