A heavy, rounded sans with a hand-drawn, inked-in look and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes are thick and soft-edged, with subtly uneven contours that create a lively, organic silhouette rather than crisp geometry. Counters are small and often asymmetrical, and joins/terminals tend to bulge slightly, producing a buoyant rhythm across words. Overall spacing reads compact and sturdy, favoring punchy shapes over open apertures.
Best suited to display use where strong presence and personality are desired—posters, packaging, labels, and bold social graphics. It also works well for kid-focused or playful branding, short headlines, and callouts where the textured, handmade feel can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The font conveys a cheerful, casual tone with a touch of retro cartoon energy. Its inky irregularities feel approachable and human, suggesting spontaneity and warmth rather than precision or formality.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, friendly display voice that mimics brush or marker lettering while staying legible and cohesive. The goal appears to be maximum impact with an informal, approachable character and an energetic slanted flow.
Uppercase forms are simplified and blocky, while lowercase keeps rounded, single-storey construction where applicable (notably the bowl-driven letters), reinforcing the informal voice. Numerals follow the same soft, swollen construction and maintain strong spot-color, making them attention-grabbing in short runs.
