A compact, heavy sans with softly squared (superellipse-like) curves and minimal stroke modulation. Terminals are mostly blunt and slightly rounded, with lively, uneven contour behavior that makes verticals feel gently wavy rather than strictly geometric. Counters are relatively tight, and overall proportions skew condensed, with round letters (O, C, G) appearing slightly squeezed and upright. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey feel where applicable, and numerals match the same chunky, rounded-rect silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and playful branding where a compact, chunky voice is desired. It also works well for logos and product names that benefit from a friendly, slightly offbeat silhouette.
The overall tone is cheerful and characterful, with a hand-cut, poster-like bounce that reads informal rather than corporate. Its subtle irregularity and compact weight give it a fun, slightly retro personality suitable for expressive display work.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient display sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and a deliberately lively, imperfect rhythm. It prioritizes personality and punch over neutral readability, creating an approachable, retro-leaning voice for attention-grabbing typography.
Texture is dense and dark on the line, and the rhythm leans toward “wobble” and charm rather than strict consistency. The font’s tight apertures and condensed width can reduce clarity at small sizes, but the shapes remain distinctive in headlines.
