A rounded, monoline display face with an intentionally uneven, hand-drawn construction. Strokes keep a generally steady thickness but wobble subtly, with softened terminals and occasional bulb-like nubs that add a homemade feel. Counters are open and generous, bowls lean toward near-circular shapes, and curves dominate over sharp corners. The overall rhythm is irregular and lively, with small variations in letter widths and stroke joins that read as deliberately casual rather than strictly geometric.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text where personality matters more than typographic neutrality—children’s titles, playful posters, event invitations, packaging accents, and social graphics. It can work in brief sentences at larger sizes, but the irregular rhythm makes it most effective as a display face rather than for dense reading.
The font projects a lighthearted, silly energy—more sketchbook and cartoon than formal typography. Its bouncy forms and quirky details create an approachable, kid-friendly tone that feels informal and expressive.
Designed to deliver a distinct, one-off voice through hand-made irregularity, rounded friendliness, and humorous details. The goal appears to be a memorable, decorative texture that feels casual and approachable in modern display settings.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent rounded language, though both retain idiosyncratic forms that keep the texture animated in longer text. Numerals follow the same soft, wavy logic, prioritizing character over strict uniformity.
