A heavy, soft-edged sans with chunky strokes and gently rounded corners throughout. Letterforms show deliberate irregularity: strokes wobble slightly, terminals vary from flat to subtly curved, and counters are roomy but not perfectly symmetrical. The overall rhythm is bouncy, with uneven silhouettes and a hand-cut feel, while maintaining clear, simple constructions typical of a sans. Spacing appears generous at display sizes, and the numerals match the same chunky, slightly uneven styling for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where its chunky silhouettes can be appreciated. It also fits playful editorial callouts, children’s materials, and comic or cartoon-adjacent graphics; for longer body text, it will be most effective at larger sizes where the irregular details remain clear.
The font conveys a lighthearted, informal tone—cheerful and a bit mischievous—more like cut-paper lettering than strict geometric type. Its wobble and softened shapes give it an approachable, kid-friendly personality with a retro poster vibe.
The design appears intended to provide an expressive, informal sans that feels handcrafted and approachable without becoming decorative to the point of illegibility. Its consistent weight and softened geometry suggest a focus on friendly display typography that adds character and motion to simple messages.
Uppercase forms read as bold, compact blocks, while lowercase letters lean into more personality through exaggerated bowls and occasional asymmetry. The dot on i/j is round and prominent, and several glyphs show intentionally imperfect curves that create a lively texture in longer lines of text.
