A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and subtly irregular contours that give it an organic, cut-from-paper feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and the counters are generally open and simplified for clarity at display sizes. Curves dominate the construction (notably in O, C, S, and the numerals), while joins and terminals often show gentle squaring or slight flattening that adds a handmade rhythm. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with short ascenders/descenders and simple, blocky forms that keep the overall texture dense and even.
Best suited for headlines, short blurbs, and branding where a friendly, attention-grabbing voice is desired. It works especially well on packaging, event posters, playful signage, and youth-oriented or casual brands, where its chunky softness can carry the design without needing additional decoration.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, leaning whimsical rather than strictly geometric. Its slightly wobbly rhythm and bulbous shapes create a warm, informal voice that feels fun, youthful, and a bit retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a warm, informal personality—combining rounded, simplified letterforms with a subtly handmade finish for approachable display typography.
In text, the heavy color and soft shapes create strong impact, but spacing and irregular outlines make it feel intentionally imperfect and lively. Numerals are bold and rounded with simple interior shapes, matching the alphabet’s friendly, poster-ready character.
