A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and soft, blunted terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth curve-to-stem joins and minimal contrast, creating sturdy silhouettes that hold up at large sizes. Counters tend to be small and rounded, and several forms show gentle asymmetry and slightly unconventional shaping that adds a handmade, poster-like rhythm. Numerals match the letterforms with broad, simplified construction and strong, dark color on the page.
Best suited to display settings where weight and personality are assets: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and punchy editorial callouts. It can work for short subheads or UI emphasis text, but long paragraphs may feel heavy due to compact counters and strong color.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a distinctly playful, slightly retro feel. Its chunky curves and compact spacing give it a bold, attention-grabbing presence that reads as friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a warm, approachable character—combining a bold, rounded construction with quirky details to stand out in branding and headline typography.
The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” reinforcing the informal, contemporary voice. The shapes prioritize impact over openness, so dense text can appear dark and tightly packed, while headlines feel confident and lively.
