A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and slightly irregular in rhythm, with subtle angled cuts and notch-like joints that create lively texture inside counters and at terminals. Curves are squarish and inflated rather than geometric, and many forms show a gentle forward lean. The overall silhouette is blocky and condensed, with tight apertures and sturdy bowls that keep word shapes dense and highly graphic.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where its dense black shape and quirky internal detailing can be appreciated—such as posters, bold headlines, branding wordmarks, packaging, and apparel graphics. It can also work for short, high-impact phrases and signage where personality matters more than fine text clarity.
The tone is bold and playful, with a retro display energy that feels comic, quirky, and a bit mischievous. Its chunky, cushioned forms read as friendly and attention-grabbing rather than formal or neutral. The slight slant and uneven internal shaping add a handmade, poster-like exuberance.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that blends superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry with expressive cuts and a slight forward motion. Its goal is to maximize visual impact and memorability, creating a compact, high-ink presence with a playful, retro-leaning voice.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and massed, emphasizing dark color on the page. The distinctive internal cuts/notches become more noticeable at larger sizes, acting as a signature texture across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the same inflated, rounded-rect style for consistent display impact.
