A chunky slab-serif with softly rounded terminals and mostly square, unbracketed serifs that read as sturdy yet informal. Strokes are heavy and even, with subtle wobble and occasional swell that gives the outlines a hand-made feel rather than a strictly geometric build. The letterforms show lively, slightly irregular proportions and spacing, creating a bouncy rhythm across words; bowls and counters tend to be compact, and joins are simplified and bold. Numerals and caps maintain the same robust texture, with small idiosyncrasies (like asymmetric curves and playful hooks) that add character without breaking overall consistency.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and short emphatic copy where a bold, characterful slab can carry the voice of the design. It also fits packaging, café/retail branding, book covers, and children’s or whimsical editorial titling, where a handmade or retro tone is desirable.
The tone is friendly and mischievous—more storybook and craft-market than corporate. Its bold, rounded slabs and uneven cadence suggest a vintage, handmade sensibility that feels approachable and a bit theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong slab-serif silhouette while deliberately introducing hand-drawn irregularity for warmth and personality. It prioritizes distinctive texture and charm over strict typographic neutrality, aiming to feel crafted, expressive, and memorable in display contexts.
The font’s strong texture and distinctive serifs make it most effective at display sizes, where the quirky details and lively outlines remain clear. In longer passages, its irregular rhythm becomes a defining stylistic feature, contributing personality more than neutrality.
