A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with subtle hand-cut irregularities that create a slightly uneven edge and lively texture. Curves tend toward squarish bowls and superelliptical counters, while terminals are blunt and gently rounded rather than sharply cut. The overall rhythm is tight and tall, with small apertures in letters like e and s and a sturdy, poster-like silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well-suited for short, high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, titles, logos, and packaging where a friendly but assertive tone is needed. It can also work for labels and social graphics, where the tight, chunky forms help maintain presence at smaller sizes, though it is most effective when given room to breathe.
The font feels warm and approachable, with a playful, slightly scruffy character that reads as handmade rather than mechanical. Its chunky shapes and rounded geometry evoke a casual retro sensibility suited to expressive, upbeat messaging.
The design appears intended to combine a bold, compact footprint with rounded-rectangle letterforms and a deliberately imperfect, handmade texture. Its goal is expressive legibility: strong silhouettes and simple construction that stay readable while conveying personality.
Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, with single-storey shapes where applicable and compact counters that emphasize weight. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded logic, staying clear at a glance while retaining the same informal texture. In text, the dense color and narrow set create strong impact, especially at display sizes.
