A heavy, soft-edged sans with rounded corners and subtly uneven strokes that create a hand-cut, wobbling silhouette. Curves are broad and inflated, counters are generous, and joins tend to be blunt rather than sharp, giving the alphabet a chunky, approachable texture. The uppercase has a slightly top-heavy feel and the lowercase shows lively, idiosyncratic construction (single-storey forms and simplified terminals), producing a rhythmic, informal word shape. Numerals match the same bulbous, cut-paper geometry with high visual weight and clear, simplified interiors.
Best suited for display use such as posters, playful branding, packaging, event graphics, and children’s or entertainment-oriented materials. It can work well for short bursts of text—titles, captions, and callouts—where a friendly, attention-grabbing voice is desired.
The overall tone is cheerful and mischievous, with a casual, kid-friendly energy. Its intentional irregularity reads as handmade and cartoon-like, prioritizing personality over strict geometric precision.
The font appears designed to deliver an expressive, approachable display voice with a handmade sensibility. Its softened geometry and gentle irregularities suggest an intention to feel fun, informal, and immediately legible at larger sizes while standing apart from more rigid sans styles.
Spacing and letter shapes feel intentionally inconsistent in small ways, which enhances the organic character but can also make long passages feel busy. The design holds up best when given room to breathe, where its soft curves and chunky silhouettes can be appreciated.
