A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly blunted corners throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and sturdy silhouettes. Curves tend toward squared bowls and superellipse-like rounds, while joins and terminals read as slightly irregular, giving a subtly hand-cut, stamped quality. Spacing is tight and the letterforms feel tall and economical, keeping a strong, continuous rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and logo wordmarks where its dense shapes and compact rhythm can read as intentional and characterful. It also works well for playful branding, labels, and social graphics that benefit from a bold, friendly voice.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, mixing retro sign-painting energy with a playful, cartoonish friendliness. Its chunky forms and soft corners feel informal and expressive rather than neutral, delivering impact without sharpness.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal space, using rounded-rect geometry to create a strong, approachable display voice. The slight roughness in edges and joins suggests an intention to feel tactile and handmade while remaining cleanly constructed.
The lowercase is simple and workmanlike, with single-storey forms and compact apertures that emphasize solidity over openness. Numerals match the same rounded-block logic, keeping visual weight consistent across text and display settings.
