A heavy, rounded sans with subtly irregular geometry and a lively, uneven stance. Strokes are thick and confident with gently softened corners, and many letters show slight tapering or wedge-like joins that suggest cut-paper or hand-drawn construction. Curves are full and compact, counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm alternates between straight, blocky verticals and buoyant bowls. Uppercase forms feel condensed and emphatic, while lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey approach with sturdy terminals that keep the texture dense in text.
Best suited to short-form display work such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where its chunky forms and playful rhythm can lead the composition. It can also work well on packaging and event or entertainment graphics that benefit from an informal, character-driven voice.
The face conveys a friendly, humorous tone with a bouncy, off-kilter energy. Its irregularities read as intentional and expressive rather than rough, giving it a casual, characterful personality that feels retro and approachable.
Likely designed as an expressive display sans that prioritizes personality and visual impact over strict geometric regularity. The softened corners and hand-cut irregularities suggest an intention to feel crafted, upbeat, and immediately attention-grabbing.
Numerals are bold and poster-like, with rounded shapes and compact counters that match the letters. The mixed-case palette maintains consistent weight and softness, while slight asymmetries and angled cuts add motion and prevent the texture from feeling mechanical.
