A heavy, soft-edged sans with rounded geometry and slightly irregular, carved-looking terminals. Strokes are thick and even, with broad curves and generous counters that keep forms open despite the weight. The uppercase feels sturdy and compact, while the lowercase is lively with a tall x-height and subtly varied widths that create a hand-cut rhythm. Details like the single-storey a and g, the curved tail on y, and the rounded, swollen joins in letters like m/n contribute to an organic, sculpted silhouette.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a strong, friendly voice is needed. It can work in short paragraphs or captions when set with ample size and spacing, but its dense weight and animated shapes favor titles, signage, and logo-style wordmarks.
The overall tone is friendly and expressive, with a buoyant, slightly quirky rhythm that reads as retro and playful rather than formal. Its big shapes and soft corners give it an approachable, poster-like energy that feels confident and upbeat.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, approachable personality—combining bold, open forms with slightly irregular terminal shaping to evoke a handcrafted, retro display feel while remaining recognizably sans in structure.
The letterforms emphasize bold silhouettes over strict geometric consistency, producing a warm, intentionally idiosyncratic texture in text. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, rounded construction, supporting attention-grabbing headlines and short blocks where personality is desirable.
