A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and soft, blunted terminals. Forms lean on broad, circular bowls and oval counters, with slightly uneven geometry that creates a subtly wavy baseline and a hand-cut, lively rhythm. Counters are relatively tight at this weight, and joins are stout and simplified, keeping details minimal and silhouettes strong. The overall texture is dense and emphatic, optimized for short, high-impact setting rather than delicate detail.
Best suited to bold headlines, poster copy, packaging, and logo wordmarks where strong silhouettes and a friendly voice are needed. It also works well for children’s media, casual signage, and social graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the compact counters remain clear.
The letterforms feel upbeat and approachable, with a humorous, informal tone. Its slightly irregular shapes read as human and energetic, suggesting a retro display sensibility that’s more fun than formal.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a warm, playful personality, pairing simple rounded construction with slight irregularity to avoid a sterile geometric feel. The emphasis appears to be on legibility-at-a-glance and characterful display presence.
Round letters like O, C, and G show strong circular structure, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain thick and stable without sharp, needle-like points. Numerals are equally hefty and friendly, with simplified construction that maintains consistent color in mixed text.
