A chunky, rounded sans with heavy, soft-edged strokes and an overall forward slant. Letterforms are built from broad, simple shapes with slightly uneven contours that suggest a hand-cut or inked construction rather than strict geometry. Counters are compact and sometimes irregular, terminals tend to be blunt and rounded, and the silhouette varies from glyph to glyph, creating an energetic rhythm. The figures and capitals carry the same weighty, bubbly presence, with a generally compact feel and sturdy verticals.
Well suited for bold headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a friendly, attention-grabbing voice is needed. It can work for short paragraphs in playful contexts (children’s materials, event promos, casual editorial callouts), but is most effective in display settings and larger sizes.
The tone is warm and informal, with a comic, DIY character that reads as approachable and humorous. Its deliberately imperfect edges and bouncy spacing give it a lively, human feel suited to upbeat messaging rather than corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice by combining a rounded sans base with hand-made irregularity and a dynamic slant, prioritizing character and immediacy over strict uniformity.
The texture created by subtly wavy outlines becomes more noticeable in longer text, where the dense strokes and tight counters add a tactile, poster-like color. The slant and irregularity contribute to motion and personality, but also make it best in larger sizes where shapes can breathe.
