A very heavy, soft-edged display face built from swollen, rounded strokes and gently uneven contours. Terminals are bulbous and the interior counters tend toward teardrop and oval shapes, giving letters a squishy, hand-formed feel. Curves dominate over straight segments, and the rhythm is intentionally irregular: widths and bowl sizes vary slightly from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, wavy texture in text. The lowercase includes single-storey forms (notably the a) with compact, upright proportions and minimal stroke modulation.
Best suited for display applications where personality is the priority: posters, headlines, event promos, playful branding, packaging, and album or title treatments. It can also work for short pull quotes or splashy UI moments, but the strong texture is likely to feel busy in long-form reading.
The overall tone is upbeat and nostalgic, evoking a 60s–70s poster sensibility with a cheerful, cartoon-like warmth. Its bouncy silhouettes and blobby joins read as approachable and fun rather than precise or technical.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a bold, upbeat identity with a handmade, flowing irregularity—prioritizing charm and visual motion over strict geometric consistency. The goal seems to be an immediately recognizable, retro-leaning display voice that feels soft, friendly, and energetic.
The design favors bold silhouette recognition over fine detail, with generous black area and simplified joins that stay legible at display sizes. Spacing appears visually open enough for short lines, while the irregular stroke swelling adds a distinctive texture that becomes more noticeable in longer passages.
