A heavy, compact sans with softly squared, superelliptical curves and generally uniform stroke thickness. Terminals are blunt and slightly eased, giving counters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than pure circles. Proportions are sturdy and a bit condensed in places, with small apertures and tight internal space that keep the texture dense in paragraphs. The overall rhythm has mild, hand-cut irregularity—subtle wobble and uneven joins—without leaning into a true handwritten script.
Best suited to display settings—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks—where its chunky forms and soft corners can carry personality. It can work for short blurbs or captions when generous size and spacing are available, but it’s most effective when allowed to breathe and show its shape character.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a slightly retro, poster-like energy. Its chunky shapes and softened corners feel casual and confident, reading as friendly rather than technical or severe.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of a straightforward sans with a softer, more playful geometry. By using rounded-rectangle forms and blunt terminals, it aims to feel sturdy and readable while adding an informal, slightly vintage flavor for attention-grabbing typography.
At text sizes the dense stroke and small apertures can make word shapes feel dark and compact, while larger sizes highlight the quirky, cut-out quality in curves and diagonals. Round letters and numerals emphasize the superelliptical construction, and the overall silhouette stays upright and stable.
