A heavy, geometric sans with softly rounded corners and a deliberately irregular, hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and even, with simplified construction and minimal modulation, creating strong black shapes and compact counters. Curves tend toward near-circular bowls (O, o, 0) while diagonals and terminals often end in angled, wedge-like cuts (notably in K, k, v, w, x, y), giving the face a lively rhythm. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact, with a single-storey a and g, a short, straight-shouldered r, and a dot on i/j rendered as a small square. Numerals are robust and poster-ready, with simplified, high-impact silhouettes.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and short marketing phrases where its bold shapes and playful rhythm can carry the message. It can also work for attention-grabbing UI labels or signage, but its quirky details are most effective when given room at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is cheerful and slightly mischievous—more toy-like and expressive than neutral. Its chunky geometry and quirky cuts evoke a retro, sign-painting or cut-paper sensibility that feels energetic and approachable rather than formal.
Likely designed to provide a friendly, high-impact sans for expressive display typography—combining simple geometric foundations with idiosyncratic cuts to create a distinctive, characterful voice.
Spacing appears intentionally generous for the weight, helping the dense letterforms breathe in text. The mix of rounded bowls and sharper diagonal cuts creates a distinctive texture that stands out quickly, especially at larger sizes.
