A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly bulging curves. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with slightly uneven, hand-cut edges that create a textured silhouette rather than crisp geometry. Counters are small and tight, terminals are blunt, and curves (notably in C, O, S, and G) lean toward squarish rounding. The lowercase is tall with short ascenders/descenders relative to its body, and the overall spacing feels dense, giving lines a solid, poster-like rhythm.
Best suited for short display copy where strong impact and character are desired: posters, packaging callouts, sticker designs, event flyers, and playful branding. It can also work for titles in games, comics, or seasonal promotions where a bold, slightly rough texture adds personality.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a friendly roughness that reads like a rubber-stamp or cut-paper display. It feels informal and energetic, suited to humorous, spooky, or retro novelty messaging rather than neutral corporate text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact width while retaining a warm, hand-made feel. Its superelliptical, rounded-block forms and subtly distressed outlines suggest a deliberate balance between geometric simplicity and tactile imperfection for attention-grabbing display typography.
The irregular edge treatment and compact internal spaces increase visual weight quickly at smaller sizes, while larger sizes emphasize the tactile, handmade texture. Numerals and capitals maintain the same chunky, rounded-rect language, keeping the set cohesive for headline use.
