A chunky, heavily filled sans with softly rounded corners and a subtly hand-cut, uneven contour. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many terminals feel blunted or slightly chipped, giving a tactile, cut-paper look. Proportions are compact and generally narrow, with a prominent x-height and short ascenders/descenders that keep lowercase forms dense and sturdy. The rhythm is intentionally irregular: curves wobble slightly, joins vary, and some counters pinch or open asymmetrically, creating a lively, informal texture in text.
Best suited for display settings where personality matters—headlines, posters, playful branding, packaging, and short bursts of copy. It can work for captions or UI labels when sizes are generous, but its intentionally irregular shapes and tight interior spaces are most effective in larger, high-contrast applications.
The overall tone is warm and humorous, with a casual, handcrafted energy that reads as approachable rather than formal. Its bouncy shapes and imperfect edges suggest kid-friendly fun, DIY craft, and lighthearted entertainment contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly sans voice with a deliberate handmade wobble—prioritizing character and charm over strict geometric precision. It aims to feel approachable and fun while staying solid and highly visible in display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same bold, rounded construction, helping headings feel consistent across mixed-case settings. Digits match the letterforms with similarly soft corners and sturdy, high-ink shapes, making numbers feel integrated in display use.
