A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions softened by rounded corners and superellipse-like bowls. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many joins and terminals show slight irregularities that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically perfect. Counters tend to be small and rectangular, creating a dense, punchy texture, while diagonals and angles are simplified into sturdy, geometric facets. Overall spacing reads compact in text, with tightly packed shapes and strong, poster-like silhouettes.
Best suited to display applications where impact matters: posters, headlines, short slogans, packaging callouts, and game or comic-adjacent UI titling. It can work for brief paragraphs when set large with generous leading, but the compact counters and dense texture make it less ideal for small text.
The letterforms project a bold, playful energy with a roughened, DIY edge—more arcade and sticker-like than corporate. Its chunky geometry and quirky imperfections give it a friendly, mischievous tone that suits informal, energetic messaging.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact through chunky, rounded-rect geometry and deliberate roughness, balancing geometric structure with a handmade feel. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and personality over neutral text efficiency.
The font’s rhythm is intentionally uneven, with subtle wobble and asymmetric detailing that adds personality at display sizes. In the sample text, the dark color and tight internal space make it visually commanding, with readability improving as size increases and line spacing opens up.
