A rounded sans with heavy, even-weight strokes and soft terminals, built from circular and elliptical forms. The overall geometry is intentionally irregular: curves wobble slightly, counters vary, and stroke joins feel loosely constructed, creating a hand-made rhythm. Proportions lean compact, with relatively small interior counters and a notably low-looking lowercase (shorter x-height impression in text). The variable character widths and slightly inconsistent alignment contribute to a lively, informal texture, while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, playful branding, and packaging where a friendly, informal voice is desired. It can also work for short UI labels or social graphics, but the heavy weight and irregular rhythm make it less ideal for dense body text.
The tone is cheerful and approachable, with a quirky, offbeat bounce that feels more like lettering than strict geometric construction. Its softness and mild wonkiness suggest warmth and humor rather than precision or technical neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans with hand-drawn character—prioritizing charm and immediacy over strict typographic regularity. Its rounded construction and deliberately imperfect spacing and curves aim to create a lively, welcoming presence in attention-grabbing text.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and poster-like, while the lowercase introduces more personality through uneven bowls and lively curves. Numerals and capitals maintain the same soft, chunky voice, producing a consistent, friendly color in headlines and short phrases.
