A chunky, heavy sans with rounded terminals and softly inflated bowls. The outlines keep a largely even stroke feel, but the letterforms show deliberate irregularity: slightly wavy stems, uneven joins, and subtle tilt/warp between glyphs that creates a hand-cut or hand-drawn impression. Counters are generally open and circular, with simplified construction and compact inner spaces in letters like B, P, and R. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably across characters, reinforcing an informal, animated rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and playful branding. It also fits children’s materials, event graphics, and display text where a friendly, handcrafted feel is desirable; it’s less suited to dense body copy where the irregular rhythm could reduce readability.
The font reads as lively and mischievous, with a friendly, kid-like energy. Its uneven geometry and buoyant silhouettes give it a homemade, craft-forward tone that feels humorous rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a handcrafted wobble—combining simple sans forms with intentionally imperfect contours to add humor and personality.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same playful wobble, and the numerals follow the same rounded, chunky construction. The visual texture becomes more expressive in longer text, where baseline bounce and uneven widths create a deliberately imperfect, poster-like cadence.
