A heavy, rounded sans with broadly monoline strokes and softened corners. Forms lean on simple geometric construction—open bowls, circular counters, and wide curves—while allowing small, intentional irregularities that create a hand-cut feel. Uppercase letters are compact and sturdy with generous interior space, and lowercase has a tall, prominent x-height that keeps word shapes large and readable. Terminals are mostly blunt with subtle rounding; joins and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/K) show slightly uneven rhythm that adds character without breaking consistency. Numerals match the letters’ weight and curvature, with bold, friendly silhouettes and open counters in figures like 6, 8, and 9.
Best suited for display applications where warmth and personality are desired—headlines, logos, posters, playful branding, and packaging. It also works well for short blocks of large text in informal contexts, where its strong weight and open counters keep words legible while delivering a distinctive voice.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly mischievous, cartoon-like energy. Its chunky shapes and soft geometry feel casual and inviting, evoking retro signage and playful packaging rather than formal editorial typography.
Likely designed to provide a bold, friendly sans for attention-grabbing typography, balancing geometric roundness with subtle irregularities for a more human, handcrafted feel.
Texture is intentionally lively: strokes and curves don’t feel mechanically perfect, giving lines of text a bouncy, handmade rhythm. Counters stay relatively open for such a heavy style, helping maintain clarity at display sizes.
