A chunky, rounded sans with a lively, hand-drawn irregularity. Strokes are heavy and generally uniform, with subtly wobbly contours and occasional tapered joins that keep the texture informal rather than geometric. Counters are open and often near-circular (notably in O/o and 8), while terminals tend to be softly blunted or slightly angled, giving the alphabet a cut-paper, marker-like feel. Proportions are broad and sturdy, with a bouncy baseline rhythm in text and a clear, simple construction that favors bold silhouettes over precision.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a bold, friendly voice. It also works well for kid-focused materials, casual editorial callouts, and short display copy where its bouncy rhythm and strong silhouettes can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cheerful and mischievous, like a friendly display face made for lighthearted messaging. Its irregularities read as intentional and human, adding warmth and personality while keeping the letterforms straightforward and approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver a personable, handcrafted sans look that feels informal and fun while remaining clear at larger sizes. Its slightly irregular outlines and rounded, heavy construction aim to add character and charm without relying on decorative serif details.
Uppercase forms lean toward simplified, sign-like shapes (e.g., a compact E/F and a rounded G), while lowercase mixes single-storey constructions and generous curves for readability at display sizes. Numerals are equally robust and rounded, with distinctive, slightly quirky angles on figures like 2 and 7 that reinforce the handmade character.
