A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and slightly irregular, hand-made contours. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with generous curves and compact apertures that create a dense, punchy texture. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders and descenders, while counters tend to be small and teardrop-like in places. Overall rhythm feels lively and uneven in a deliberate way, giving the letters a buoyant, cutout-like silhouette.
Best suited to display use such as posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and playful branding where a friendly, chunky voice is desired. It also works well for children’s materials and short, high-impact phrases where the heavy texture is an advantage.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a humorous, cartoon-leaning warmth. Its rounded massing and quirky irregularity read as informal and kid-friendly rather than technical or corporate. The bold presence also adds a confident, attention-grabbing feel.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable, comic display voice with a hand-shaped feel, prioritizing character and impact over strict geometric precision. Its rounded forms and subtle irregularities aim to make set text feel personable and fun.
Text settings show a strong, dark color on the page and a distinctly “wobbly” edge that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. The numerals and uppercase carry the same soft, chunky construction, helping headings and short phrases feel cohesive and emphatic.
