A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners that give curves a squarish, superellipse feel. Strokes are thick and largely even, with subtle flare and irregularity at terminals that reads as hand-cut rather than geometric-perfect. Counters are tight and often teardrop or wedge-shaped, producing a dense color on the page, while spacing remains fairly open for a display face. Uppercase forms are sturdy and simplified, and the lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey look where applicable, maintaining a consistent, chunky rhythm across letters and numerals.
Best used for display applications such as posters, bold headlines, branding marks, packaging, and signage where its chunky silhouettes and playful texture can be appreciated. It also works well for short promotional copy and titles in contexts that benefit from a retro, friendly voice rather than a strictly neutral one.
The overall tone is upbeat and characterful, blending a friendly softness with a slightly rough, vintage sign-painting energy. It feels informal and attention-grabbing, with a whimsical bounce that keeps dense bold text from looking severe.
This design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that nods to vintage, hand-made lettering while staying structurally simple and highly legible at headline sizes. The softened superellipse shapes and slightly irregular terminals suggest a goal of warmth and personality over strict geometric precision.
The font’s distinctive personality comes from its softly squared curves and lightly uneven terminals, which add texture without introducing true contrast or sharp detailing. At larger sizes the inner shapes and terminal quirks become a key part of its charm; at smaller sizes the tight counters may close up visually, making it better suited to short bursts of text.
