A heavy, rounded sans with softly squared curves and blunt, slightly irregular terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and counters tend to be compact, giving letters a dense, poster-like color. The geometry feels based on simple rounded forms but with a subtly hand-cut wobble in curves and joins, producing lively texture rather than rigid precision. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and vertical, while lowercase forms are simple and open, with single-storey a and g and a short-armed r that reinforces the informal construction.
Best suited for short to medium-length headlines where a friendly, handmade texture is desirable—posters, packaging, café or retail signage, and characterful brand wordmarks. It can work in brief blocks of text at larger sizes, but its dense counters and heavy color suggest using generous size and spacing for clarity.
The overall tone is warm, approachable, and a bit mischievous, like sign lettering or cut-paper type for casual messaging. Its slight unevenness adds personality and a human feel, leaning toward a fun, retro display mood rather than a corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a hand-crafted edge—combining rounded sans simplicity with subtle irregularities to feel personable and lively in branding and promotional typography.
The strongest impression comes from the combination of chunky weight, rounded corners, and intentionally imperfect contouring, which creates a rhythmic, handmade pattern in text. Numerals share the same compact, soft-edged construction, keeping a consistent, friendly texture across mixed copy.
