A heavy, rounded sans with bulbous curves, compact counters, and a slightly irregular, hand-cut finish. Strokes stay broadly consistent, but edges show subtle waviness and small notches that keep shapes from feeling mechanically perfect. The lowercase is built on simple, stout forms with short extenders and mostly closed apertures, while capitals read wide and blocky with softened corners. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, favoring broad bowls and sturdy verticals for strong silhouette clarity.
Best used for short to medium display text such as headlines, poster titles, packaging callouts, and bold social graphics where its chunky silhouettes can breathe. It also fits playful branding, kids-oriented materials, and retro-inspired designs that benefit from a friendly, tactile sans. For longer passages, generous size and spacing will help maintain readability.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a cartoonish, retro flavor. Its soft geometry and imperfect edges give it an informal, tactile character—more craft and personality than precision. The bold massing makes it feel confident and upbeat, suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, approachable voice—combining rounded construction with a subtly imperfect finish to feel handmade rather than strictly geometric. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and personality for display settings.
Round letters like O/C/G emphasize near-circular bowls, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) appear thick and punchy, reinforcing a bouncy rhythm. Tight internal spaces and small counters can reduce clarity at very small sizes, but at display sizes they enhance the font’s solid, poster-like presence.
