A heavy, rounded sans with soft, blobby outlines and slightly irregular contours that suggest hand-shaped forms. Strokes are thick and even, with generous rounding at corners and terminals, producing compact counters and a strong silhouette. Proportions vary subtly from letter to letter, creating an uneven, bouncy rhythm; curves dominate and straight strokes often show gentle waviness rather than rigid geometry. The lowercase is simple and single-storey where applicable, with short, sturdy ascenders/descenders and a sturdy overall color on the page.
Best suited for short-form display use such as headlines, posters, product packaging, labels, and playful branding. It also fits children’s materials, casual event graphics, and social media imagery where a friendly, chunky voice is needed. For longer passages, it will perform best at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The font projects an upbeat, approachable tone with a casual, homemade feel. Its chunky forms read as cheerful and informal, leaning toward a kid-friendly, comic, or craft-oriented personality rather than a corporate one.
The design appears intended to deliver a warm, playful display voice through rounded, hand-formed shapes and a deliberately imperfect rhythm. It prioritizes bold presence and characterful texture, aiming for approachability and visual charm in attention-centric typography.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same soft, inflated construction as the letters, keeping the texture consistent across mixed copy. In paragraph-like sample text, the dense weight and tight counters make the type feel bold and attention-grabbing, favoring impact over delicacy at smaller sizes.
