A chunky, rounded sans with soft corners and an intentionally irregular, hand-cut feel. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with subtle wobble and small variations in curvature that keep the texture lively. Counters tend to be compact and rounded, terminals are blunt, and overall spacing feels slightly uneven in a deliberate way, creating a buoyant rhythm across words and lines. Numerals match the same sturdy, simplified construction and read clearly at display sizes.
Well suited to posters, big headings, short blurbs, and branding moments where an informal, fun voice is desired. It can work nicely for kids-oriented materials, comics-style captions, playful packaging, and event graphics where the bold silhouette and lively rhythm help carry tone at a glance.
The font conveys a cheerful, mischievous tone—casual and approachable rather than technical or refined. Its bouncy shapes and gentle irregularities suggest humor and friendliness, making text feel conversational and animated.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that prioritizes warmth and personality over strict consistency. Its simplified forms and deliberate irregularity aim to produce a friendly, handmade impression that stands out quickly in titles and signage-like settings.
In paragraphs the texture stays bold and dark, with a noticeably playful line rhythm that can look intentionally wavy. The letterforms favor simple geometry over precision, which helps personality but can make dense text feel heavy; it performs best when given breathing room.
