A chunky, rounded sans with a deliberately irregular, hand-shaped feel. Strokes keep a largely even thickness but wander subtly in angle and curvature, creating a bouncy rhythm across words. Counters are compact and soft-edged, terminals are blunt and rounded, and many glyphs lean or swell slightly, giving the set an organic, cut-paper presence rather than mechanical precision. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey forms and compact bowls that stay highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a friendly, characterful voice is needed. It performs well in short to medium text settings at larger sizes—such as titles, pull quotes, menu headings, and playful editorial callouts—where its lively texture can be appreciated.
The overall tone is playful and personable, with a slightly mischievous, cartoon-like energy. Its uneven contours and buoyant proportions read as informal and approachable, evoking handcrafted signage and lighthearted vintage display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with handcrafted charm, prioritizing personality and visual rhythm over strict geometric regularity. Its rounded forms and subtly offbeat construction aim to make text feel warm, casual, and memorable.
The figures match the letterforms in weight and attitude, appearing robust and easy to pick out. The font’s irregularities feel intentional and consistent, helping long lines of text maintain a lively texture without turning chaotic.
