A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing solid, ink-trap-free silhouettes and a strong vertical rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be small, emphasizing a dense, poster-like texture, while terminals often feel gently blunted rather than sharply cut. Overall spacing reads on the tight side, and the forms maintain a slightly irregular, hand-cut liveliness without losing structural consistency.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where density and impact are desirable, such as posters, packaging, branding marks, and storefront or event signage. It can work for subheads and callouts, but the tight counters and compact rhythm may become tiring at small sizes or in long paragraphs.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a mid-century display energy that feels playful and approachable rather than strict or technical. Its rounded geometry and compact proportions give it a friendly, comic-adjacent character that suits lively messaging and attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint while staying friendly through rounded-rectangle shapes. It prioritizes bold readability and a distinctive, slightly quirky texture for expressive display typography.
Letterforms lean on superelliptical bowls and rounded shoulders, creating a cohesive “soft block” motif across capitals and lowercase. The numerals match the same compact, chunky voice, keeping the set visually uniform for titles that mix text and numbers.
