A heavy, right-leaning sans with rounded, brush-like terminals and smoothly swollen strokes that create a soft, cushioned silhouette. Letterforms are compact and highly curved, with simplified joins and a lively, hand-drawn rhythm rather than rigid geometric construction. Counters stay open but are relatively tight in the lowercase, and the overall color is dark and even, with subtle stroke modulation and occasional tapering at ends. Figures match the same rounded, slanted energy, reading as bold, friendly shapes suited to display sizing.
Works best for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, product packaging, brand marks, and punchy headlines where its bold, rounded strokes can carry personality. It can also serve for playful subheads or pull quotes, but dense body text may feel heavy without ample leading and size.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a nostalgic sign-painting or marker-script feel translated into a chunky sans texture. Its forward slant and rounded forms give it momentum and warmth, making text feel conversational and energetic rather than formal.
Designed to deliver a bold, friendly display voice that blends handwritten motion with clean sans simplicity. The emphasis appears to be on warmth, immediacy, and legibility at larger sizes while maintaining a distinctly casual, retro-leaning character.
Uppercase forms remain simple and sturdy while the lowercase introduces more handwriting-like movement, especially in curved letters and the single-storey constructions. Spacing and shape variety reinforce an informal, expressive cadence that benefits from generous line spacing in paragraphs.
