A heavy, rounded display sans with compact counters and a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with gently bulging curves and subtly uneven edges that create a lively rhythm across words. Uppercase forms are broad and blocky, while lowercase letters keep simplified bowls and short, sturdy stems; terminals tend to be blunt and softly rounded rather than sharply squared. Numerals are bold and highly graphic, matching the dense color and tight internal spaces seen in the letters.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense weight and playful shapes can read clearly—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding marks. It can also work for short signage or social graphics, but extended body text will feel heavy due to the tight counters and strong overall color.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, combining a retro poster sensibility with a friendly, cartoon-like softness. Its slight wobble and swollen curves make it feel energetic and approachable rather than precise or corporate.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact with a friendly, retro-leaning voice, using exaggerated weight and rounded geometry to create a distinctive, attention-grabbing texture in display settings.
In text, the strong weight creates a near-solid texture, so spacing and counter shape do most of the legibility work. The irregularity reads as intentional and decorative, giving headlines a handcrafted character without resorting to overt ornament.
