A heavy, soft-edged sans with rounded corners and subtly irregular geometry that gives each glyph a hand-cut, wobbling feel. Strokes are uniform and dense, with compact counters and a generally closed, blocky construction; curves are broad and somewhat squashed rather than perfectly circular. The caps read as sturdy and rectangular, while the lowercase mixes single-storey forms with simplified joins, producing an uneven, lively rhythm. Numerals follow the same chunky, slightly tilted-in-place shaping, prioritizing mass and silhouette over strict modular consistency.
Best suited to display settings where impact and personality are primary—posters, bold editorial headlines, playful branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It works particularly well in short lines and titles, where the chunky silhouettes and irregular rhythm can be read as a deliberate stylistic statement.
The overall tone is playful and bold, with a homemade, cartoon-title energy. Its slight wobble and inflated shapes feel friendly and informal, evoking retro signage, kids’ products, and comic display lettering rather than sober editorial typography.
The design appears intended as a characterful, attention-grabbing display sans that blends geometric simplicity with a hand-made wobble. It emphasizes bold silhouettes, soft corners, and a playful texture to stand out in branding and headline contexts.
Spacing appears intentionally tight in text, and the dense interiors (especially in rounded letters) can fill in at smaller sizes. The design’s charm comes from its controlled inconsistency—straight strokes bow slightly and terminals don’t always align perfectly—creating a lively, bouncy texture in headlines.
