A compact, heavy sans with rounded terminals and subtly irregular contours that suggest hand-cut or brush-like construction. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with occasional tapered joins and soft, curved corners rather than crisp mechanical intersections. Counters are generous for the weight, and many forms show slightly asymmetrical bowls and diagonals, creating a lively rhythm. The uppercase is blocky and simplified, while lowercase shapes lean toward single-storey, informal constructions; numerals follow the same chunky, rounded logic.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, packaging, and headline typography where its chunky forms and quirky details can carry personality. It can also work for short, bold UI labels or social graphics, but longer passages will benefit from extra spacing and larger sizes to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is warm and mischievous, with a retro display feel that reads as informal and approachable rather than technical. The slight wobble and softened geometry give it a handcrafted charm, making text feel animated and conversational.
Likely designed to deliver an expressive, friendly sans voice with handcrafted energy—prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and a dark, confident presence over strict geometric regularity. The forms aim to feel vintage and playful while remaining legible in bold display text.
In the sample text, the texture stays dark and even, with distinctive silhouettes that keep words recognizable despite the heavy stroke weight. Narrow interior spaces in letters like a/e/s and tight joins in m/n suggest it benefits from comfortable tracking and moderate sizes where counters can breathe.
