A heavy, geometric sans with rounded bowls and mostly uniform stroke weight, drawn with slightly irregular angles and subtly uneven terminals. Letterforms lean on simple circular and elliptical construction, but the contours are intentionally a bit off-kilter, creating a hand-cut, cut-paper feel rather than strict mechanical precision. Proportions are compact with relatively tall capitals and a smaller lowercase presence, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph for a lively rhythm. Counters stay open and clear, with broad curves in C/O/Q and sturdy verticals across H/N/U.
Best used at display sizes where its rounded geometry and quirky irregularities can be appreciated—such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and playful editorial callouts. It can also work for short bursts of UI or social graphics where a friendly, informal voice is needed, but it will be most effective when not set in long, dense body text.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, mixing bold, attention-getting shapes with a gentle wobble that feels human and approachable. It suggests a playful, slightly retro sensibility—confident but not overly serious—well suited to cheerful messaging and expressive headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans that feels hand-shaped while staying clean and legible. Its controlled geometric foundation paired with deliberate unevenness aims to add personality and warmth without relying on decorative flourishes.
The sample text shows consistent weight and strong color on the page, while the slight irregularity in stems and joins keeps long lines from feeling rigid. Numerals are rounded and prominent, matching the letterforms’ chunky, friendly presence.
