A rounded, heavy sans with soft corners and a broad footprint. The strokes are consistently thick and smooth, while counters and bowls often include irregular, scalloped-looking inner cutouts that create a distinctive textured rhythm. Curves dominate the construction, with simple, compact terminals and minimal modulation; straight stems are blunt and sturdy. Overall spacing feels open and generous, supporting legibility despite the decorative counter treatment in several letters and numerals.
This font is best used where personality matters: headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a bold, approachable voice. The decorative counter shapes make it especially effective at medium-to-large sizes, where the internal detailing reads clearly and adds character without feeling busy.
The irregular inner shapes give the face a mischievous, handcrafted character—more playful than corporate. It reads as friendly and attention-grabbing, with a slightly retro display sensibility that feels suited to fun, informal messaging.
The design appears intended to offer a friendly, rounded display sans with a built-in visual hook—using irregular counter cutouts to differentiate it from standard geometric rounded faces while keeping the overall letterforms simple and sturdy.
The most recognizable signature is the uneven, wavy counter detailing that appears in multiple rounded glyphs, adding visual sparkle at larger sizes. Capitals and lowercase share a cohesive, rounded geometry, and figures follow the same chunky, softened style for a consistent texture in mixed text.
