A heavy, compact sans with rounded outer corners and subtly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are broadly uniform, with slightly tilted terminals and wedge-like cuts that create a lively rhythm rather than strict mechanical consistency. Counters are relatively small and rounded, giving the letters a dense, punchy color in text. The lowercase shows simple, single-story forms (notably a and g) and a sturdy, utilitarian approach to shapes, while figures are bold and straightforward with prominent curves and minimal interior space.
Well-suited for bold headlines, posters, and title treatments where a friendly, attention-grabbing sans is needed. It can work effectively in branding and packaging systems that want an approachable, retro-leaning voice, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a poster-like energy that feels slightly quirky and handmade. Its soft rounding keeps the weight from feeling aggressive, while the angled cuts add motion and personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, approachable character—combining chunky proportions with slightly irregular, angled terminals to avoid a purely geometric feel. It prioritizes personality and display presence over neutrality, aiming for a memorable, punchy texture in short lines of text.
The texture is intentionally uneven in small ways—curves and joins feel gently pushed and pulled—so it reads more like a designed display face than a neutral workhorse. Tight counters and heavy joins suggest better performance at larger sizes where the playful details stay clear.
