A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters, broad curves, and slightly irregular edges that give it a cut-paper or stamped feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and softened, with occasional notches and wedge-like cuts that act like subtle ink traps and add texture to the silhouette. The overall rhythm is chunky and lively, with simplified geometric construction tempered by uneven contours that keep letters from feeling rigid or purely mechanical.
Best suited for headlines, poster work, and short emphatic copy where its chunky forms can create strong visual impact. It also fits branding moments that want a playful, retro-leaning voice—such as packaging, event graphics, and logo wordmarks—especially when set large enough to preserve counter clarity.
The tone is upbeat and attention-grabbing, leaning toward playful retro display. Its blobby shapes and quirky cuts feel friendly and informal, suggesting humor, pop culture, and handcrafted energy rather than corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, humorous personality, combining rounded sans basics with deliberate roughened cuts to evoke a handmade, vintage display aesthetic.
In text, the dense weight and tight internal spaces make it strongest at larger sizes, where the distinctive notches and soft corners read as intentional character details. Numerals and capitals share the same stout, rounded presence, producing a consistent, poster-like color on the page.
