A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and slightly irregular, hand-shaped contours. Strokes are monolinear and thick, with rounded terminals and gently squared-off curves that create a “cut from rubber” feel. Counters are compact and often asymmetrical, and the overall rhythm is bouncy, with small variations in stroke edge and letter silhouette that keep it from feeling mechanically geometric. The lowercase shows sturdy, simple constructions (single-storey a and g), and the numerals are similarly bulbous and high-impact with minimal internal space.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and playful branding. It works well when you want a bold, friendly voice for titles, callouts, or display copy, and is less suited to dense paragraphs where tight counters and heavy weight can reduce comfort.
The tone is friendly and humorous, leaning toward a retro, cartoon-like voice. Its dense black shapes and imperfect edges add warmth and approachability, making text feel informal, bold, and attention-seeking rather than refined or technical.
Likely designed as a characterful display sans that prioritizes warmth and visual punch over strict geometry. The softened corners and subtly uneven outlines suggest an intention to feel hand-made and approachable while maintaining clear, simple letterforms.
Spacing appears generous in the sample text, helping readability despite the tight counters and heavy color. The uppercase is compact and blocky, while the lowercase introduces more rounded movement, giving mixed-case settings a lively, casual texture.
