A heavy, rounded sans with soft terminals and gently irregular construction that gives the letters a hand-cut, slightly wobbly feel. Curves are broad and smooth, with compact counters and a high, sturdy lowercase presence. Stems and bowls keep a consistent, solid color, while subtle asymmetries and varied curvature create a lively rhythm across words. Figures match the letters in weight and roundness, reading clearly with a straightforward, simplified geometry.
Best suited for short to medium display settings where personality is desired—posters, headlines, packaging, signage, and youth-oriented branding. It can also work for emphasis in UI or social graphics, but its strong, playful texture is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with an intentionally imperfect bounce that feels casual and human. It suggests playfulness and warmth rather than precision, lending text a light, animated character.
Designed to deliver a bold, friendly sans voice with a handcrafted bounce, prioritizing charm and visual impact over strict geometric consistency. The intention appears to be an approachable display face that stays legible while projecting a fun, informal identity.
Several glyphs show mild tilt and off-center stress-like shaping, contributing to a dynamic texture in lines of text. The silhouette stays clean and sans-like, but the intentional irregularity keeps it from feeling corporate or strictly geometric.
