A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and slightly irregular contours that give the shapes a hand-cut, organic feel. Strokes are broadly uniform and appear mildly wobbly, with occasional pinched joins and uneven terminals that add character while keeping forms simple. Counters are compact and often asymmetrical (notably in letters like a, e, g), and punctuation/figures follow the same blobby construction with simplified geometry.
Best suited to display settings where its mass and rounded shapes can work as a graphic element: posters, playful branding, kids-oriented materials, packaging, and short headlines. It can also work for large UI labels or social graphics, but the tight counters and irregular detailing suggest avoiding long passages or small sizes.
The font reads as cheerful and informal, with a toy-like, cartoon sensibility. Its chunky rhythm and bouncy silhouettes feel approachable and humorous, leaning more toward expressive display than neutral text setting.
Designed to deliver a warm, humorous voice through oversized, rounded forms and deliberately imperfect edges, prioritizing personality and immediate impact over typographic neutrality.
Capitals are compact and blocky, while lowercase introduces more distinctive, playful constructions (single-storey a and g, rounded i dot, soft-angled k and x). Numerals are bold and friendly with rounded corners and slightly quirky proportions, maintaining consistent weight and personality across the set.
