A heavy, slanted sans with chunky, rounded forms and softly irregular contours that suggest a hand-cut or brushy construction. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, with blunted terminals and gentle corner rounding throughout. Counters are compact and sometimes asymmetrical, and the baseline and curves carry a subtle wobble that creates a lively rhythm. Uppercase is compact and muscular, while lowercase remains rounded and approachable with a straightforward, readable structure at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where character and impact matter more than long-form comfort: posters, bold headlines, brand marks, packaging, event graphics, and punchy social media typography. It also works well for playful labels and stickers where a friendly, high-energy tone is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a bouncy, animated presence that feels friendly and slightly retro. Its softened shapes and purposeful irregularity read as expressive rather than strict, lending a conversational, playful voice to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver bold visibility with a human, hand-rendered feel—combining strong, rounded silhouettes with a consistent slant to create motion and personality. It prioritizes expressive charm and quick readability in short bursts over typographic neutrality.
Diagonal joins and angled cuts add motion, especially in letters like K, V, W, X, and Z, helping the font feel fast and dynamic. The numerals follow the same chunky, rounded logic and hold together well as a set, making the style consistent across letters and figures.
