A heavy, rounded sans with softly swollen strokes and consistently low contrast. The letterforms are built from simple geometric cores that are “pinched” and scooped at joins, creating small notches that read like ink-trap or teardrop cut-ins rather than sharp corners. Curves are broad and cushiony, terminals are mostly blunt or softly sheared, and counters stay open despite the dense weight. Overall spacing and silhouette feel slightly irregular and lively, giving the alphabet a handcrafted, display-forward rhythm while remaining broadly consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for display settings where its chunky shapes and distinctive notches can be appreciated—logos and brand wordmarks, poster titles, packaging fronts, and short punchy headlines. It can also work for large-format signage or playful editorial callouts, but its strong personality makes it less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The design projects a cheerful, slightly eccentric tone—confident and chunky, but softened by rounded contours and playful inner cut-ins. It evokes a mid-century/retro display sensibility with a friendly, approachable voice suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The font appears designed to offer a bold, high-impact sans alternative with added charm through rounded geometry and characteristic scooped joins, prioritizing recognizability and warmth over neutrality.
Lowercase forms emphasize round bowls and short, sturdy stems, with distinctive join shaping that adds character in combinations like n/m and a/e. Numerals follow the same bulbous construction, maintaining strong presence and legibility at larger sizes.
