A heavy, rounded sans with soft terminals and subtly irregular, hand-cut contours. Curves are broad and full, with compact counters and a slightly inflated feel that keeps strokes looking smooth and continuous. The baseline and verticals read mostly steady, but many joins and diagonals show gentle wobble that creates an organic rhythm. Proportions are generally compact and sturdy, with simple geometric construction tempered by small asymmetries that keep the texture lively in both caps and lowercase.
Well-suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a warm, attention-getting voice is needed, such as posters, packaging, and brand marks. It also fits playful contexts like children’s media, event promos, and informal editorial callouts where character matters more than neutrality.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a mild offbeat charm that feels casual rather than strict. Its rounded forms and slightly uneven detailing suggest a friendly, human presence and a light retro poster sensibility.
Likely designed to deliver a friendly, high-impact display voice by combining rounded geometric foundations with intentional, hand-made irregularity for warmth and memorability.
Numerals and capitals maintain the same soft, chunky construction, giving headings a cohesive, high-impact block of color. In longer lines the subtle irregularities add personality, making the texture feel animated rather than purely mechanical.
