A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and subtly irregular, wavy contours. Corners are softened, bowls and counters are squarish, and strokes maintain a mostly even thickness while gently swelling and tapering, giving the outlines a hand-shaped feel. The proportions skew broad with compact apertures and sturdy terminals, and the spacing reads generous, supporting dense black texture in words. Numerals and lowercase show the same squashed, superelliptical geometry, keeping the overall rhythm cohesive while allowing small width differences between characters.
Best suited to display sizes where its bold, rounded forms and quirky irregularity can read as character rather than noise. It works well for posters, brand marks, packaging, event titles, and playful editorial callouts, especially when a soft, chunky presence is desired.
The overall tone is buoyant and mischievous, with a retro display attitude that feels friendly rather than strict. Its slightly off-kilter shapes add a casual, handmade energy, lending personality and motion to short phrases and headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded geometry, combining broad shapes with a lightly hand-formed unevenness. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a fun, retro voice over neutral text economy.
In text settings, the strong silhouettes remain legible but the tight counters and chunky joins create a high-ink, poster-like color. The wobble in horizontals and curved edges is consistent enough to feel intentional, giving the face a distinctive, tactile look.
