A heavy, compact sans with rounded bowls and softened terminals, drawn with a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes stay broadly consistent while subtle tapering and angled cuts appear at joins and ends, giving the letterforms a lively, non-mechanical feel. Counters are open and simple, with single-storey shapes for several lowercase forms and uncomplicated, sturdy numerals. Overall spacing and widths vary modestly from glyph to glyph, contributing to a bouncy texture in text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and brand marks that want an upbeat, handcrafted voice. It can work for kids-focused materials and casual signage where personality is more important than long-form reading comfort.
The font reads as lighthearted and informal, with a charming wobble that feels handmade rather than engineered. Its chunky presence and rounded geometry suggest a kid-friendly, comic-adjacent tone that aims for approachability and character.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, friendly display sans with a handmade, slightly irregular finish, delivering strong impact while avoiding the cold precision of geometric or neo-grotesque styles.
In the sample text, the slightly uneven verticals and varied glyph widths create a gentle wave across lines, which adds personality but reduces strict typographic regularity. The strong silhouette and simple counters keep words recognizable at display sizes.
