A heavy, soft-cornered sans with broad proportions and subtly uneven stroke modulation that gives the shapes a hand-cut, poster-like feel. Terminals are blunt and slightly rounded, with squared shoulders and compact interior counters that stay open through generous apertures. The overall rhythm is chunky and bouncy, with occasional asymmetries and mildly irregular curves that add personality while keeping the structure legible. Numerals match the letters in mass and width, with sturdy bowls and a solid, blocky stance.
Well-suited to headlines and short display copy where impact and character are priorities, such as posters, bold packaging, storefront signage, and expressive brand marks. It can work for subheads and callouts, but extended paragraphs may feel dense due to the tight counters and strong overall color.
The tone is exuberant and approachable, leaning toward a retro display sensibility. Its chunky forms and gentle irregularity suggest humor and informality, creating an energetic, attention-grabbing voice that feels friendly rather than strict or technical.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact with a friendly, informal personality. By combining broad, blocky construction with softened corners and slight stroke variation, it balances clarity with a handcrafted, playful display presence.
The face reads best when given room: tight internal spaces and dense color can build quickly, especially in long lines. The most distinctive character comes from its soft squareness, slightly wavy curves, and the consistent “puffed” silhouette across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
