A compact, heavy sans with rounded outer curves and subtly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to end in blunt or softly squared finishes. Counters are small and tightly shaped, contributing to a dense, poster-ready color. Many glyphs show slight asymmetries and uneven verticals that create a lively rhythm, while overall proportions stay relatively tall and condensed.
Works best for headlines, posters, and packaging where a bold, friendly voice is needed and the tight counters can stay open at larger sizes. It also fits playful branding, children’s materials, comic or zine-style graphics, and attention-grabbing signage.
The letterforms feel upbeat and informal, with a slightly mischievous, cartoon-like energy. Its irregularities and chunky mass suggest a retro display sensibility—more humorous and approachable than technical or corporate.
Likely designed as a characterful display sans that prioritizes strong silhouette impact and a lively, imperfect rhythm over neutrality. The chunky construction and rounded shapes aim to feel approachable and fun while staying highly visible in large-scale typography.
The numerals and capitals read as strong silhouettes with a “cut paper” steadiness, while lowercase forms maintain the same chunky weight and compact spacing. In text, the tight counters and dense blackness can build intensity quickly, making it better suited to short bursts than long reading.
