A heavy, soft-edged sans with rounded corners and subtly uneven contours that create a hand-cut, slightly wobbly silhouette. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with bulbous terminals and compact counters that keep forms dark and punchy. Proportions are intentionally irregular—curves and diagonals vary in angle and width—producing a lively rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, short extenders, and generous, rounded bowls; figures match the same chunky, simplified construction.
Works best for display typography such as posters, playful branding, product packaging, and children-oriented materials where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It can also serve for short headlines or callouts in editorial layouts, especially when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a toy-like, cartoon sensibility. Its gentle irregularity reads as approachable and humorous, suited to lighthearted messaging rather than formal communication.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a warm, handmade personality—combining simplified sans structures with intentionally irregular outlines to feel spontaneous and fun.
The dense interiors and thick joins benefit from ample tracking and larger sizes, where the uneven shaping becomes a feature instead of visual noise. The caps feel especially bold and poster-like, while the lowercase maintains a casual, friendly texture for short text runs.
