A heavy, display-oriented sans with soft, rounded geometry and a subtly carved, wedge-like shaping at terminals. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with fuller verticals and scooped or notched joins that create small internal cut-ins, giving counters extra definition at large sizes. Proportions feel expansive and slightly top-heavy, with broad bowls and sturdy stems; curves are smooth but tightened at joins for a crisp silhouette. The lowercase is compact and robust, with single-storey forms and simplified construction that favors bold, legible shapes over delicate detail.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where bold, friendly impact is needed. It works well for logo wordmarks and short promotional copy, especially in contexts that benefit from a retro or playful tone. In longer text blocks, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes where the sculpted terminals and counters can be appreciated.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, mixing a retro sign-painter energy with a contemporary, cartoon-like friendliness. Its chunky rhythm and softened corners make it feel approachable and informal, while the carved terminals add a touch of crafted, poster-era personality. The result reads as confident, attention-seeking, and fun rather than strictly utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence with a soft, approachable voice—combining chunky, simplified letterforms with carved terminal details to add character and maintain clarity at display sizes. It aims to feel crafted and expressive while staying clean enough to set quickly and consistently across letters and numerals.
Large counters and pronounced openings help letters hold up in heavy settings, especially in short words and headlines. The numerals match the letterforms with rounded, weighty silhouettes and the same carved terminal flavor, supporting cohesive typographic color across mixed text and figures.
