A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners, broad curves, and blunt terminals that give the letters a cut-out, slightly irregular feel. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, while counters remain open and generously sized for the weight. Proportions are sturdy and compact, with subtly uneven edges and asymmetries that create an organic rhythm rather than a strictly geometric finish. Numerals match the letterforms in mass and softness, keeping the overall texture dense but readable.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and punchy brand moments where a friendly, characterful sans is needed. It can work effectively on packaging and identity systems that benefit from a handcrafted or vintage-leaning warmth, and it holds up nicely for short blurbs or captions when given ample leading.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, homemade character that feels informal and upbeat. Its chunky silhouettes and gentle rounding suggest a retro, poster-like energy rather than a corporate or technical voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans with an intentionally imperfect, hand-cut finish—combining simple rounded construction with subtle irregularities to add charm and personality in display settings.
In text, the bold color builds quickly, so it performs best with comfortable spacing and moderate line lengths. The slight roughness at joins and terminals reads as intentional texture, adding personality at display sizes while remaining clear enough for short copy.
