A heavy, compact sans with subtly irregular geometry and a hand-cut, wobbly rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with rounded corners and softly bulging curves that keep counters open despite the weight. Caps feel slightly top-heavy and compressed, while lowercase forms stay simple and sturdy with short extenders and a single-storey a. Overall spacing and widths vary a bit between letters, adding a lively, informal texture to lines of text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, packaging, and storefront or event signage where a friendly, characterful voice is desired. It can also work in branding marks and labels that benefit from an informal, upbeat presence rather than typographic neutrality.
The face conveys a buoyant, humorous tone—more like signage or cartoon lettering than a strict utilitarian grotesk. Its slight wobble and chunky silhouettes create an approachable, kid-friendly energy with a hint of retro novelty.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice by combining simple sans structures with intentionally uneven proportions and rounded, chunky forms. The goal seems to be instant impact and personality, prioritizing charm and energy over strict regularity.
Figures are bold and blocky with simplified construction that matches the alphabet’s playful irregularity. The shapes stay legible at display sizes, and the uneven widths give headlines a hand-made feel rather than a rigid, mechanical cadence.
