A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly blunted corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with subtly uneven contours that create a hand-cut, slightly wobbly edge rather than perfectly geometric curves. Counters are tight and often squarish, and joints tend to resolve into small flats and notches, giving the forms a carved, stencil-like solidity. Overall spacing is moderately tight, producing a dark, rhythmic texture in words, with capitals and lowercase sharing a consistent, sturdy silhouette.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings where strong presence and personality are desired, such as posters, headlines, playful branding, packaging, and shop or event signage. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts where a friendly, retro accent is needed.
The font reads as informal and characterful, mixing retro signage energy with a homemade, craft-like charm. Its slightly irregular geometry keeps it approachable and lively, making text feel animated and conversational rather than clinical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice using rounded-rectangular geometry softened by hand-made irregularities, balancing sturdy legibility with an intentionally quirky, crafted feel.
Round letters lean toward superelliptical bowls (notably in O, C, e, and 0), while diagonals and terminals often end in chamfered, wedge-like cuts. The numerals match the letterforms’ chunky, softened construction, maintaining a cohesive, display-oriented tone.
