A compact, heavy sans with subtly irregular contours that give it a hand-cut, printed feel. Strokes are broadly even and end in softened, slightly blunted terminals, with gentle curvature in bowls and rounded corners throughout. Proportions lean condensed and tall, with small-to-moderate apertures and tight interior counters that keep the texture dense. The rhythm is lively rather than strictly geometric, with small variations in widths and curves that read as intentional and consistent across letters and numerals.
Best suited for display sizes where its dense weight and quirky, hand-made rhythm can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, signage, and brand marks. It also works well for short blurbs and callouts where a friendly, informal emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a crafted, slightly eccentric character. It evokes mid-century poster lettering and casual display typography—confident and attention-getting without feeling sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, compact voice with a human, slightly imperfect finish—prioritizing personality and visual punch over strict neutrality or long-form readability.
Uppercase forms stay sturdy and poster-like, while lowercase retains a simple, single-storey, vernacular look. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction, maintaining strong color and impact in lines of text.
