A heavy, sans-leaning design with soft curves and simplified geometry is paired with a distinctive built-in underline that appears across most glyphs. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with rounded bowls and broad counters that keep forms readable despite the decorative baseline treatment. The underlines vary in length and placement by character, creating an intentionally irregular rhythm while maintaining an overall coherent, blocky silhouette.
Works best for display contexts where the built-in underline can act as a branding device: headlines, posters, packaging, stickers, and social graphics. It can also suit playful editorial callouts or event titles where a bold, quirky voice is desired. For longer passages, the strong baseline bars may become visually insistent, so use it sparingly or at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
This typeface feels playful and contrarian, mixing a sturdy, no-nonsense weight with deliberately quirky details. Its consistent, emphatic underlining gives it a stamped, poster-like energy and a slightly tongue-in-cheek attitude.
The design appears intended to turn ordinary text into a graphic element by embedding emphasis directly into the letterforms. The underline motif functions as a unifying signature and a visual hook, making the face better suited to short, attention-grabbing messages than neutral reading.
The underline element is present on both uppercase and lowercase and interacts with descenders, giving the text a distinctive baseline texture. Numerals and capitals maintain the same heavy presence, keeping mixed-case settings visually uniform and strongly “display-first.”
