A soft, blobby display face built from inflated, rounded shapes with irregular, hand-molded contours. Strokes are heavy and monoline in feel, with pinched joins and occasional bulges that create a lively, uneven rhythm across words. Counters are small and often circular, and terminals are fully rounded; spacing appears generous, while glyph widths vary noticeably from letter to letter. The x-height reads large, with compact ascenders and descenders that help the lowercase stay prominent in text.
Well suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, packaging callouts, kids-oriented branding, stickers, social graphics, and playful poster work. It can also work for short labels or UI badges when set large enough to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is playful and humorous, with a squishy, toy-like presence that feels approachable and slightly mischievous. Its irregularity adds a handmade, animated quality suited to lighthearted messaging rather than formal communication.
Designed to deliver a bubbly, inflated letterform style with an intentionally irregular, hand-shaped feel, emphasizing charm and personality over typographic precision. The large lowercase presence and rounded construction aim to create immediate friendliness and visual punch in display settings.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same puffy construction, but the set leans toward single-storey, simplified forms that prioritize character over strict consistency. Numerals match the same inflated silhouette and hold up well as bold, attention-grabbing figures. The dense black shapes and tight counters can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, suggesting best results at display scales with comfortable tracking.
