A heavy, soft-edged sans with rounded bowls and broadly cut counters, built from chunky, almost block-like strokes. Letterforms show a deliberately uneven, hand-shaped feel: verticals and curves subtly bulge, terminals are blunt, and joins can look slightly pinched or scooped, creating a lively rhythm across words. The uppercase is compact and impactful, while the lowercase keeps a large, open presence with simple, single-storey constructions and sturdy stems. Numerals follow the same inflated, cutout geometry, staying bold and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where its chunky forms can deliver impact: headlines, posters, event graphics, packaging, and playful brand marks. It also works well for short, bold statements on social graphics or merchandise where a friendly, cartoon-like voice is desired.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a retro sign-painter/cartoon energy that feels welcoming rather than strict or technical. Its exaggerated mass and soft geometry make it read as fun, bold, and attention-seeking, ideal for messages meant to feel upbeat and approachable.
The design appears intended to provide a high-impact sans that feels hand-shaped and fun, prioritizing personality and immediacy over strict geometric regularity. Its softened corners and inflated proportions suggest a focus on approachable display typography that stays readable while looking distinctive.
Curves and straight segments don’t aim for perfect symmetry; instead they lean into a crafted, slightly wobbly consistency that adds personality. The heavy color on the page is strong, so spacing and counters play a big role in keeping forms readable, especially in longer lines of text.
