A compact, heavy sans with rounded terminals and softly swelling strokes that create a slightly irregular, hand-shaped rhythm. Forms lean toward vertical, with tight apertures and generous, pill-like counters in letters such as O, P, and R. Curves are prominent and often overshoot for emphasis, while joins and bowls feel inflated rather than geometric, giving the alphabet a bouncy texture. Numerals and caps share the same thick, sculpted construction, with simplified interior spaces that keep the silhouette bold and readable at display sizes.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and packaging where bold, characterful letterforms are needed to grab attention. It can work effectively in logos and signage thanks to its strong silhouettes, and it’s most comfortable in short to medium display copy rather than long-form text.
The overall tone is upbeat and nostalgic, echoing mid-century signage and pop display lettering. Its chunky shapes and soft corners make it feel friendly and approachable, with a humorous, slightly eccentric personality that stands out in short bursts of text.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that prioritizes impact and personality over neutrality. Its inflated curves, tight apertures, and compact proportions suggest a goal of producing dense, memorable word shapes reminiscent of vintage advertising and sign lettering.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, helping words set as dense, graphic blocks. The distinctive, rounded shaping of terminals and bowls produces strong silhouettes, but the small openings in some letters suggest it will perform best when allowed room at larger sizes.
