A heavy, compact sans with rounded bowls and softened corners paired with occasional angular cuts and wedge-like terminals. The forms are built from consistently thick strokes, with slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry that gives counters and joins a lively, uneven rhythm. Uppercase letters read broad and blocky, while the lowercase keeps single-storey a and g and simplified shapes that stay stout and highly legible. Numerals are similarly chunky, with open, simplified construction and a strong, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of copy where its bold silhouette and playful rhythm can carry the message—posters, packaging, logos, and promotional graphics. It can work for larger-size editorial callouts or playful UI moments, but long passages will read best with comfortable leading due to its dense color.
The overall tone is exuberant and informal, with a bouncy, cutout-like energy that feels friendly and attention-seeking. Its quirky terminals and subtly wobbly construction evoke handmade signage and upbeat retro display typography rather than strict, technical neutrality.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that balances round, friendly forms with hand-cut irregularity, creating a distinctive, approachable voice. It prioritizes instant readability and personality over strict geometric precision.
Curved letters like C, G, O, and S emphasize large, soft counters, while diagonals and junctions (K, R, W, X) show slightly sharpened, chiseled transitions that add character. Spacing appears generous enough for display settings, with a dark overall texture that benefits from ample line spacing in paragraphs.
