A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are thick and confident with gentle modulation, and counters tend toward round or teardrop shapes, creating a lively texture in words. Terminals often finish with subtle flare or wedge-like shaping rather than blunt cuts, giving curves and joins a sculpted feel. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals, and letter widths vary noticeably across the alphabet, producing an energetic rhythm in setting.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and short-to-medium display text where its rounded weight and lively rhythm can carry a message. It can work well for branding, packaging, and signage that aims for an approachable, crafted look, and for editorial callouts where a friendly, characterful sans is desired.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a playful, slightly retro flavor. Its rounded construction and quirky terminals keep it from feeling corporate, suggesting craft, fun, and friendliness rather than strict neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, readable sans with a handmade edge—combining sturdy, simple structures with softened corners and expressive terminals to create a memorable, upbeat voice.
The numerals match the letterforms with wide, rounded bowls and distinctive, curved constructions, making them feel display-forward. The lowercase shows especially strong personality in forms like a, g, and t, which adds charm but also increases the font’s distinctive voice in longer passages.
