A rounded sans with soft, blunted terminals and a gently irregular, hand-drawn texture. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, and curves are built from generous arcs that keep counters open and readable. Proportions lean compact, with short extenders and a modest x-height; joins and corners are slightly uneven, giving the letterforms a lively, human rhythm. Overall spacing feels relaxed, and the silhouette stays smooth rather than angular, even in diagonals and numerals.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where a friendly, casual voice is desired: packaging, event posters, café/retail branding, children’s materials, and social graphics. It can also work for UI labels or signage at larger sizes where the rounded forms and open counters remain clear.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a humorous, homemade energy. Its slightly wobbly geometry reads as personable and non-corporate, suggesting craft, kid-friendly communication, or lighthearted editorial voice. The heavy, rounded shapes add confidence while keeping the mood soft and inviting.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, personable sans that feels hand-made and approachable rather than technical. Its rounded construction and subtle irregularities prioritize charm and warmth, aiming for instant readability with a playful, informal character.
Uppercase forms are simple and open with rounded corners, while lowercase keeps single-storey, easygoing shapes that reinforce the informal feel. The numerals share the same soft, chunky construction and maintain clear differentiation through distinct silhouettes rather than sharp detailing.
