A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared curves. Strokes are thick and even, with softly blunted terminals and minimal modulation, creating sturdy, ink-rich silhouettes. Counters are relatively small and shapes tend toward condensed, vertical proportions; bowls and rounds read as superelliptical rather than purely circular. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, with a slightly irregular, handmade edge suggested by subtle contour wobble and inky flattening at joins.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where strong presence is needed: headlines, posters, packaging panels, logo wordmarks, and storefront or event signage. It can also work for punchy subheads or pull quotes when set with generous tracking and line spacing to prevent crowding.
The face feels bold and approachable, mixing a retro sign-painting attitude with a playful, cartoon-adjacent warmth. Its chunky shapes and soft corners give it a friendly voice, while the dense weight keeps it assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly tone, using rounded-rect forms and compact proportions to stay legible at a distance while feeling casual and characterful.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and block-driven, while lowercase retains simple, sturdy constructions that keep the rhythm consistent in text. Numerals match the same compact, rounded-rect geometry, maintaining a cohesive, poster-like color across mixed content.
