A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and gently irregular outlines that suggest a hand-cut or brush-inked construction. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with subtle waviness along edges and slightly uneven joins that keep the texture lively. Counters are compact and openings are modest, giving letters a sturdy, blocky presence; curves are generous and terminals tend to end bluntly rather than sharply. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating an intentionally uneven rhythm while maintaining clear, bold silhouettes across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, bold headlines, packaging, labels, and playful brand marks where warmth and texture are desirable. It can also work for display copy in children’s or casual lifestyle contexts, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, slightly scruffy energy that feels informal and human. Its chunky forms and soft geometry lean toward a retro, craft-oriented personality rather than a sleek contemporary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, friendly display voice by combining simple rounded sans structures with deliberate imperfections for a handmade feel. It prioritizes character and punchy silhouettes over neutrality, aiming to look crafted and approachable in large-scale typography.
In running text the dense weight and tight inner spaces make it read best at larger sizes, where the quirky edge texture and bouncy spacing become a feature rather than visual noise. Numerals match the same stout, rounded build and carry the same slightly handmade irregularity.
