A heavy, compact sans with softly rounded corners and subtly flared, wedge-like terminals that create a cut-paper, stamped look. The outlines feel slightly irregular in a deliberate way, with small angle changes at joins and terminals that add motion without turning into true italics. Counters are generous for the weight (notably in O, P, and e), while curves are somewhat squarish and flattened, giving the alphabet a chunky, poster-ready rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a tall, sturdy stance; single-storey a and g and a broad, open e reinforce the simplified, display-first construction.
Best suited to large-scale display uses such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and bold brand marks where its chunky silhouettes and playful rhythm can carry the message. It can also work for short bursts of text (tags, callouts, signage) where personality is more important than long-form readability.
The overall tone is upbeat and cheeky, with a vintage cartoon and hand-lettered signage energy. Its bouncy stance and chunky shapes read as friendly and attention-seeking, more humorous than corporate. The strong silhouettes and angled cuts give it a lively, slightly rebellious edge suited to informal, energetic messaging.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, approachable display voice with a hand-cut or stamped texture, using angled terminals and rounded mass to create motion and charm. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a lively rhythm for attention-grabbing applications.
Spacing appears intentionally loose and even for a display face, helping keep dark areas from clumping at larger sizes. Numerals are bold and simple with round bowls and minimal interior detail, matching the letterforms’ cut-terminal motif. The face maintains consistent weight and a coherent terminal language across caps, lowercase, and figures.
