A chunky, rounded sans with heavy, uniform strokes and softly curved corners. Letterforms are slightly tilted and uneven in a deliberate way, creating a wavy rhythm across lines and an irregular baseline feel. Counters are compact and often asymmetrical, with simplified joins and broad curves that keep the shapes bold and readable at display sizes. Numerals share the same cartoonish construction, with wide bowls and minimal detail.
Best suited for posters, headlines, packaging, and short punchy messages where a playful, attention-grabbing texture is desired. It can work well for children’s or casual entertainment branding, labels, and event flyers, especially when set with generous tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is lighthearted and informal, with a mischievous, hand-cut or hand-drawn energy. Its wobble and exaggerated proportions give it a humorous, approachable voice that feels more expressive than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a humorous, characterful sans that stands out through wobble, soft geometry, and oversized forms. It prioritizes personality and impact in display typography over strict regularity for long-form reading.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, which amplifies the animated, cutout-like texture in text. The design favors bold silhouettes over precision, so it reads strongest when allowed to be big and graphic rather than tightly set.
