A compact, heavy sans with softly rounded corners and subtly irregular geometry. Strokes are sturdy and mostly monolinear in feel, with gentle modulation showing up in curved joins and terminals. Counters tend to be tight and ovals are slightly squashed, giving letters a tall, condensed rhythm. Curves lean toward bulbous, simplified shapes (notably in bowls and shoulders), while diagonals and joins feel a bit springy, creating an intentionally uneven, hand-cut consistency across the set.
Works best for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and bold brand marks where a lively, condensed presence is useful. It can also suit signage or social graphics that benefit from a friendly, attention-grabbing texture, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a quirky, slightly wonky charm that reads as handmade rather than strictly engineered. Its dense black presence feels confident and poster-like, but the soft rounding keeps it friendly and approachable. The texture suggests mid-century display energy with a contemporary, playful edge.
Likely designed to deliver a condensed, high-contrast-in-density display voice that feels approachable and handcrafted. The softened corners and slightly irregular rhythm aim to add personality and warmth while maintaining strong legibility and a solid, poster-ready silhouette.
The uppercase has a compact, sign-like stance with broad internal shapes, while the lowercase maintains a large, sturdy x-height and simplified forms. Figures are bold and rounded, matching the letters’ chunky color and condensed proportions. Spacing appears tight in running text, producing a strong, dark typographic color that favors display sizes.
