A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and softly blunted terminals. Letterforms show a mildly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm: straight stems wobble slightly, curves feel inflated, and some joins land with subtle asymmetry. Counters are generally compact and round, and the overall silhouette is dark and punchy, with tight interior spaces that emphasize the bold color. The lowercase is simple and compact, with short ascenders/descenders and single-storey forms, contributing to a squat, approachable texture in paragraphs.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It also fits children’s materials, event promos, and casual social graphics where warmth and character are desirable. For longer text, it will generally perform better at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, reading like marker lettering or a cartoon title card. Its uneven edges and bouncy spacing add personality and humor, leaning more whimsical than corporate. It feels kid-friendly and snackable, designed to grab attention without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, friendly display voice with a deliberately imperfect, hand-made feel. It prioritizes personality and visual punch over strict geometric precision, aiming for an approachable, fun reading experience in attention-grabbing settings.
At text sizes the dense weight and compact counters make the texture feel busy, while at display sizes the irregularities become a distinctive feature. The numerals share the same rounded, slightly lopsided construction, keeping the set cohesive and lively.
