A heavy, soft-edged sans with compact proportions and subtly irregular contours. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with rounded corners and gently uneven curves that create a handmade, cut-out feel rather than a strictly geometric build. Counters are generous but simplified, and terminals tend to blunt off with a slightly wobbly finish. The overall rhythm is lively, with small variations in width and shape that keep lines of text visually animated while remaining clearly legible.
Best suited for headlines, short blurbs, and bold callouts where personality is a priority—such as posters, playful branding, packaging, menus, and children’s or family-oriented materials. It can also work for social graphics and titling where a friendly, handmade sans look helps set an informal tone.
The tone is upbeat and informal, leaning toward a humorous, kid-friendly voice. Its chunky silhouettes and bouncy spacing evoke craft, cartoons, and playful signage, giving text a warm, approachable presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, handcrafted character—combining a straightforward sans structure with deliberate irregularity to feel lively and approachable in display settings.
Uppercase forms read as sturdy and poster-like, while the lowercase adds extra personality through simplified bowls and slightly quirky joins. Numerals match the same bold, rounded construction, staying highly visible and attention-grabbing at display sizes.
