A rounded sans with open, outline-drawn letterforms and smooth, generously curved terminals. Strokes keep a largely monoline feel, while a consistent offset drop-shadow creates a layered, dimensional effect and adds rhythm around counters and joins. Proportions are compact and slightly squarish, with broad curves in C/G/O and softened corners throughout; numerals follow the same rounded geometry for a cohesive set. The overall texture is airy because the faces are hollow, with the outline and shadow doing most of the visual work.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where the outline and shadow can be appreciated—posters, packaging, storefront/signage, social graphics, and bold branding moments. It can also work as a secondary accent face paired with a solid sans for body copy.
The combination of hollow outlines and a jaunty cast shadow gives the type a buoyant, poster-like energy. It reads as upbeat and nostalgic—suggesting mid-century signage, sticker lettering, and playful display titling rather than sober text typography.
Likely drawn to deliver a clean, friendly outline display with built-in depth, offering instant visual impact without additional effects. The rounded construction and consistent shadow aim for approachable, high-visibility lettering that feels decorative but still structurally simple.
Spacing appears designed to accommodate the shadow without excessive collisions, helping the font stay legible at larger sizes. The shadow direction is consistent, which reinforces the 3D illusion and gives lines of text a clear, repeating cadence.
