A heavy, soft-cornered display sans with inflated, blobby strokes and subtly wavy outlines. Terminals tend to flare or pinch, creating a lively in-and-out rhythm rather than a strictly geometric contour. Counters are compact and rounded, and many joins feel slightly scooped, giving letters a cushioned, cutout look. Overall proportions vary noticeably by glyph, producing an intentionally uneven, animated texture across words.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where its chunky shapes can carry personality. It can also work well for children’s content, event graphics, or playful editorial accents, but is likely to feel busy in long text at small sizes.
The font reads as playful and slightly mischievous, with a retro cartoon sensibility. Its bouncy silhouettes and irregular edge behavior create an informal, hand-made energy that feels more like signage or novelty lettering than neutral text typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful voice through rounded mass, wavy contours, and slightly idiosyncratic proportions. It prioritizes charm and immediacy over strict regularity, aiming for an expressive, display-first texture.
Round letters (like O/C/G) appear especially swollen, while verticals in letters such as I, L, and T show a gentle sway and tapering. The numerals match the same inflated, wavy construction, keeping a consistent, poster-like presence across alphanumerics.
