A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and subtly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes stay broadly even while outlines show gentle wobble and occasional angular nicks, creating a lively, imperfect silhouette. The capitals are compact and blocky with simplified counters, while the lowercase keeps single-storey forms and bulbous terminals; dots and punctuation read as solid, circular marks. Numerals are bold and open, with simplified shapes that favor clarity over strict typographic consistency.
Works best for short, bold statements such as posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, and playful branding. It’s well-suited to kid-oriented materials, casual event titles, and any setting where a friendly, handcrafted voice is desirable.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a homemade, cartoon sign feel. Its slight unevenness adds warmth and humor, making text feel approachable rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver an energetic, approachable sans that feels hand-drawn while remaining solid and legible at larger sizes. Its simplified forms and gentle wobble prioritize personality and impact over strict geometric polish.
Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally irregular, producing a buoyant texture in paragraph settings. The heavy weight and simplified apertures make it most comfortable at display sizes where the playful contour and chunky counters can be appreciated.
