A heavy, rounded sans with bulbous strokes and softened corners throughout. Curves are generous and circular, while straight strokes feel slightly irregular, giving a hand-cut, organic rhythm rather than strict geometric precision. Counters are compact but remain open and readable at display sizes; terminals tend to end bluntly with subtle rounding. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy constructions with a single-storey “a” and “g”, and short, thick ascenders/descenders that keep lines feeling compact and dense.
Best suited for short, bold applications where its chunky forms can breathe—headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks. It also works well for playful signage and attention-grabbing UI moments (buttons, badges) when set with ample spacing and at larger sizes.
The letterforms project a warm, playful tone with a slightly quirky, homemade charm. Its chunky silhouettes and gentle rounding evoke retro signage and kid-friendly packaging, while the irregularities add a casual, personable voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a friendly, approachable personality—prioritizing bold silhouettes, rounded construction, and a touch of hand-made irregularity to feel fun and informal rather than strictly utilitarian.
The font’s visual weight concentrates at joins and curves, creating a lively, slightly uneven texture in paragraphs. Numerals are bold and simplified with broad shapes and small internal openings, matching the overall stout, friendly character.
