A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and subtly uneven stroke terminals that give it a hand-cut, organic feel. Forms are compact with small-to-moderate counters, and curves dominate the construction, producing bulbous bowls and sturdy stems. The rhythm is lively rather than rigid, with slight irregularities in curves and joins that keep the texture from feeling mechanical. Numerals and letters share the same thick, cushioned silhouette, reading as solid shapes with minimal internal detail.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where a friendly, attention-grabbing voice is desired. It can work for short UI labels or social graphics when a playful tone is appropriate, but extended paragraphs will appear very dark and compact.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a cartoon-like buoyancy that feels informal and fun. Its chunky mass and soft shaping suggest warmth and humor rather than precision or seriousness.
Likely designed to provide a bold, approachable display voice that feels hand-drawn while remaining clean and sans in construction. The emphasis appears to be on personality, softness, and strong silhouette impact at larger sizes.
In running text, the dense black color builds quickly, so spacing and line length will strongly affect readability. The most distinctive character comes from the rounded geometry paired with slightly quirky, uneven contours, which reads as deliberately handmade.
