A heavy, rounded sans with softly squared curves and slightly uneven contours that create a handmade texture. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with blunt terminals and gently flared joins that add a subtle wobble to the silhouettes. Counters tend to be compact and rounded, and the overall rhythm is lively, with small variations in width and edge smoothness that read like inked or stamped letterforms rather than rigid geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging, logos, and playful branding where texture and character matter. It can work for subheads or short blurbs at moderate sizes, but the dense counters and roughened edges are most effective when given room to breathe.
The font conveys an informal, approachable tone with a hint of retro display energy. Its imperfect edges and buoyant shapes feel human and humorous, lending warmth and personality while staying clear and legible.
The design appears intended to blend a rounded, superelliptical base with a deliberately imperfect, hand-rendered finish, delivering bold presence without feeling harsh. It aims to provide a friendly display voice that stands out through texture, soft corners, and energetic rhythm.
Uppercase forms have sturdy, poster-like presence, while the lowercase keeps the same chunky construction and friendly proportions. Numerals follow the same soft, weighty treatment, maintaining consistent color and a cohesive, hand-cut look across the set.
