A compact, heavy sans with a hand-cut feel and subtly uneven geometry. Strokes stay largely consistent in thickness, while curves are generously rounded and terminals often look softly blunted rather than crisply finished. Proportions are tight and condensed, with slightly springy verticals and small, intentional irregularities that create a lively rhythm in text. Counters are relatively closed at smaller sizes, and overall spacing reads snug, reinforcing a dense, poster-like texture.
Best suited for short to medium headlines where personality and impact matter—posters, packaging, storefront-style signage, and expressive brand marks. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers, but its dense, narrow build and closed counters make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is friendly and offbeat, suggesting a vintage sign or cut-paper headline rather than a neutral UI sans. Its mild wobble and chunky presence add humor and approachability, giving words a conversational, characterful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver bold, compact emphasis with an intentionally imperfect, handcrafted texture. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and energetic rhythm over strict geometric regularity, aiming for a retro-leaning, informal display voice.
In the alphabet grid, many glyphs show subtle asymmetry and gentle curvature shifts that keep the texture from feeling mechanical. The figure set is straightforward and sturdy, matching the letterforms’ chunky construction and maintaining a consistent, attention-grabbing silhouette across mixed-case text.
