A heavy, rounded sans with squat proportions and softly squared curves that read like superellipse-based shapes. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with small irregularities and notches along edges that create a subtly distressed, hand-cut or stamped impression. Counters are compact and often teardrop-like, and joins tend to be blunt with slightly pinched transitions, giving letters a molded, chunky silhouette. Overall rhythm is bouncy and compact, favoring solid black forms over fine internal detail.
Best suited to display sizes where the chunky forms and textured edges can read clearly—such as posters, headlines, packaging, and bold branding accents. It can also work for short, emphatic UI labels or social graphics when a friendly, handmade voice is desired, but it is less suited to small, dense text settings.
The tone is bold and approachable, leaning toward playful retro signage and craft-driven display work. Its slightly rough finish adds warmth and informality, making it feel energetic and personable rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with soft, rounded geometry and a deliberately imperfect finish, evoking cut-paper, stamp, or screen-printed lettering. It prioritizes personality and weighty silhouettes over precision, aiming for a warm, attention-grabbing display voice.
The texture-like edge variation is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping the font maintain a cohesive, tactile look in longer text samples. Numerals share the same soft-cornered, blocky construction, reinforcing the family’s poster-like presence.
