A chunky, heavy sans with softly rounded corners and deliberately irregular outlines that create a wavy, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes stay broadly even, with subtle swelling and tapering that gives each letter a slightly squeezed or puffed feel. Counters are compact and rounded, and the overall rhythm is lively rather than strictly geometric, producing noticeable variation in sidebearings and letter shapes across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same bold, rubbery construction and read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, stickers, and playful branding where character is more important than neutrality. It also works well for children’s materials, event promos, and bold social graphics that need a friendly, comedic punch.
The font projects a lighthearted, mischievous tone—more comic and handmade than corporate. Its uneven contouring and bouncy proportions suggest humor, informality, and an energetic, kid-friendly voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a handmade, animated feel—combining simple sans foundations with intentionally warped contours to create personality and visual bounce.
In continuous text the irregular edges add texture and motion, but the dense weight and tight inner spaces can make long passages feel heavy. It benefits from generous tracking and line spacing when used in multi-word settings.
