A heavy, broad sans with rounded structure and subtly irregular, hand-cut detailing. Strokes are thick with gentle tapering at terminals, producing wedge-like ends rather than crisp, squared cuts. Curves are full and smooth, counters are generously open, and joins feel softly rounded, giving letters a slightly bouncy, organic rhythm. Overall spacing and letterfit read as comfortable and open, supporting large, punchy setting.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium blocks where a bold, welcoming voice is needed—posters, packaging, storefront or wayfinding signage, and brand marks. It can work for larger paragraph settings in casual contexts where a lively texture is desirable, but its strong personality will dominate at smaller sizes.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, retro sign-painting energy. Its soft tapering and slightly uneven stroke endings add personality without turning into script or display gimmickry, making it feel friendly and informal rather than strict or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, attention-getting sans that remains friendly and readable, combining wide proportions with rounded construction and subtly tapered terminals to evoke a hand-crafted, vintage display feel.
Distinctive flared terminals show up across straight strokes (for example in E/F/T and many lowercase stems), creating a consistent ‘inked’ finish. Numerals are wide and sturdy, matching the letters’ rounded proportions and reinforcing the poster-like presence.
