A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are broadly uniform and terminals are blunt, with a subtle wobble that creates an uneven, lively baseline and contour rhythm. Counters are compact and often asymmetrical, and curves feel inflated rather than perfectly circular. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders, while the uppercase is blocky and compact; numerals are similarly stout and simplified for strong silhouette readability.
Well suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, logos, and packaging where a friendly, characterful presence is desired. It can also work for playful branding systems and children’s or entertainment-oriented media, especially when used with generous tracking and leading to keep the dense shapes open.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a humorous, informal energy. Its bouncy shapes and imperfect regularity suggest a handmade, crafty sensibility rather than a technical or corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice by combining a sturdy sans foundation with intentionally irregular, handmade contours. The goal seems to be strong attention capture with a warm, humorous personality rather than strict geometric precision.
Texture becomes more pronounced in paragraph settings, where small variations in curve tension and stroke endings create a distinctive “wobble” across lines. The boldness and tight counters make it most comfortable at display sizes, where the quirky details remain clear without filling in.
