A heavy, compact sans with soft corners and subtly irregular geometry. Strokes are consistently thick with little contrast, producing sturdy, filled-in silhouettes and tight counters. Curves are rounded and slightly squarish in places, and terminals tend to look blunt rather than crisp, giving the letterforms a hand-cut, gently wobbly feel while remaining clearly upright and legible.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, playful branding, packaging, stickers, and display text where its thick shapes can carry strong color and contrast. It also works well for children’s or casual editorial headlines, but is less ideal for dense body copy because the tight counters and heavy mass can reduce readability at small sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a cartoon-like warmth that reads as informal and fun. Its chunky rhythm and slightly off-kilter shapes add personality, suggesting a lighthearted, youthful voice rather than a strict corporate one.
Designed to deliver a robust display sans with a deliberately casual, slightly handmade character. The intention appears to be maximum presence and friendliness, prioritizing bold silhouettes and a bouncy rhythm over precision or typographic neutrality.
Capitals feel blocky and headline-oriented, while the lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey construction in key forms and a generally compact footprint. Numerals are bold and rounded, matching the text weight closely and keeping the same soft, friendly texture across lines.
