A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and generously inflated strokes. Letterforms lean on simple geometric skeletons, but the outlines are intentionally imperfect, with slightly wobbly contours and uneven terminals that create a stamped or cut-out feel. Curves are broad and squarish-rounded, corners are softened, and joins stay sturdy, producing a dense, high-impact texture. The lowercase is simple and blocky, with single-storey a and g, short extenders, and a generally uniform, squat rhythm across lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and bold social graphics where texture and warmth are desirable. It also works well for playful branding, children’s products, and event signage, especially when used with generous spacing and simple layouts.
The overall tone is casual and upbeat, with a tactile, handmade character that reads as approachable rather than technical. Its bouncy shapes and roughened edges evoke craft, kids’ media, and vintage poster lettering, delivering a confident, friendly shout without sharpness.
This design appears intended as a lively display sans that combines simple, rounded construction with intentionally imperfect outlines to suggest a hand-crafted, printed, or cut-paper aesthetic. The goal is strong visual presence with a friendly, informal voice.
At display sizes the deliberate irregularity and tight counters add personality and weight; in longer setting, the dense ink and narrow apertures can make words feel compact and dark. The numerals match the same rounded, cut-out construction, staying bold and attention-forward.
