A very heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and soft, bulbous curves throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, and the outlines show deliberate irregularities—slight waviness and flattened spots—that create a stamped or hand-cut look. Counters are generally small and simple, with round letters tending toward squarish circles, and joins are blunt rather than sharply engineered. Overall spacing feels sturdy and dense, producing strong dark texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display applications where impact and personality are needed: posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and social graphics. It also fits playful branding and kid-oriented materials, and works well for short emphatic phrases where the bold, textured silhouette can be appreciated.
The font reads friendly and comedic, with a tactile, handmade energy that feels informal and approachable. Its chunky shapes and imperfect edges add warmth and personality, giving it a lively, slightly goofy tone rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, approachable display sans with a handcrafted, slightly distressed edge. Its goal is to deliver instant presence and warmth, prioritizing character and texture over neutral precision.
At display sizes the rough outline character is clear and adds charm, while in longer passages the dense weight and small counters can build heavy texture. The numerals follow the same chunky, rounded construction for a consistent voice across headings and short bursts of copy.
