A rounded sans with heavy, softly swollen strokes and subtly irregular contours that evoke a hand-inked feel. Curves dominate the construction, with compact apertures and generally closed, sturdy forms that read as solid blocks of color at display sizes. Terminals are blunt and slightly varied, and stroke modulation shows gentle, organic waviness rather than strict geometric precision. The lowercase has a single-storey a and g, circular i/j dots, and overall generous counters, while the numerals are large and simple with smooth, inflated bowls.
Best suited to headlines, short passages, and branded statements where a friendly, handcrafted voice is desired. It works well for packaging, café and retail signage, children’s or hobby-focused materials, and posters that need a bold, approachable presence. For long-form reading, it is more effective in smaller doses due to its chunky color and animated rhythm.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, slightly mischievous personality. Its uneven rhythm and cushioned shapes suggest informality and a human touch, closer to marker or brush lettering than to a rigid system font.
The font appears designed to deliver a confident, welcoming display voice with hand-made warmth, combining rounded sans construction with intentionally irregular drawing to feel personal and energetic.
Spacing and silhouettes are intentionally lively, with small variations in curve tension and width that add character in longer lines. The design maintains clear letter identities while leaning into softness and weight, which helps it stay legible even as it becomes more expressive.
