A chunky sans with softly rounded corners and a deliberately irregular, wavy baseline and cap line. Strokes are heavy and even, with low contrast and simplified geometry that reads as cut-paper or hand-shaped rather than mechanically precise. Counters are generally open and round (notably in O, Q, and e), while terminals and joins show subtle angularity and asymmetry that creates a lively rhythm. The alphabet and numerals maintain consistent weight but vary in tilt, width, and stance from glyph to glyph, producing an intentionally uneven, animated texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and playful brand moments where character is more important than typographic regularity. It can also work well for children’s materials, invitations, and social graphics, especially at larger sizes where the irregular rhythm reads as intentional.
The overall tone is playful and informal, with a cartoonish, handmade energy. Its wobble and compact, rounded forms feel friendly and attention-seeking, suggesting humor and approachability rather than strict neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, friendly display voice with a handmade, slightly off-kilter construction. Its purpose is to inject warmth and humor into text while staying within a simplified sans framework for immediate legibility.
The font’s uneven vertical alignment and slightly varying widths are a defining characteristic: even in short words, letters appear to bob and shift, which adds personality but reduces typographic restraint. Numerals share the same chunky, rounded construction and feel designed to match display settings.
