A heavy, rounded sans with a hand-drawn feel and a noticeable forward slant. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, while terminals are softly blunted and corners are generously curved, producing a cushy silhouette. Proportions are compact and slightly irregular in a deliberate way, with wide bowls and simplified, open counters that keep forms readable at display sizes. The rhythm is lively rather than rigid, with a gently wavy baseline impression and uneven internal spacing that reinforces an organic, marker-like construction.
Best suited to short-form display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging, and cheerful brand marks where personality matters more than strict neutrality. It can also work well for children’s materials, invitations, and social graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded details and lively slant can be appreciated.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, leaning into a fun, kid-friendly personality. Its soft geometry and buoyant slant suggest informality and motion, making it feel conversational and upbeat rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans that feels hand-made and energetic, prioritizing charm and immediacy. Its softened shapes and animated slant aim to create a friendly voice for casual communication and playful branding.
Uppercase forms are simplified and sturdy, while lowercase letters emphasize rounded shoulders and single-storey constructions where applicable, enhancing the casual voice. Numerals follow the same softened, chunky logic and read clearly, with friendly curves and minimal sharp joins.
