A heavy, rounded sans with thick, even strokes and softly tapered joins that give forms a slightly bouncy, hand-cut feel. Curves are generous and counters are relatively tight, producing dense, high-impact lettershapes that stay smooth rather than rigid. Terminals are generally blunt with subtle angle and flare in places, adding rhythm and a mild irregularity while keeping overall construction consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where weight and character are desirable—posters, packaging, branding marks, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for brief subheads or callouts, but its dense counters and massy shapes are more effective at larger sizes than in extended small text.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a playful, vintage-leaning personality. Its chunky silhouettes and rounded geometry suggest warmth and humor, making text feel energetic and informal rather than technical or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded silhouette, combining strong legibility at display sizes with a lively, slightly quirky rhythm. Its forms prioritize bold presence and approachability over minimalism or precision.
Uppercase letters read as sturdy blocks with rounded shoulders, while the lowercase maintains clear, single-storey forms and strong dots, reinforcing a casual, display-forward voice. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, matching the alphabet’s compact, poster-like presence.
