A compact, heavy sans with blocky forms and subtly uneven geometry that gives each letter a hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick with gently rounded outer corners and occasional angled terminals, creating a lively, slightly wavy silhouette rather than strict mechanical precision. Counters are relatively small and simplified, and curves (C, G, S, O) lean toward squarish, pinched shapes that reinforce the condensed, punchy texture in lines of text. The figures share the same chunky construction, reading clearly as display numerals with a playful, poster-like stance.
Best suited to display work where impact and character matter: posters, event titles, packaging, menu headings, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short bursts of copy (pull quotes, labels, captions) when a playful, high-contrast presence is desired rather than long-form readability.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a retro sign-painting and comic-title energy. Its slight irregularities and buoyant shapes feel approachable and humorous, favoring personality over neutrality.
Designed to deliver a bold, condensed headline voice with a handmade, slightly off-kilter rhythm. The goal appears to be strong shelf-and-screen presence with a friendly, retro personality that stays legible at larger sizes.
In paragraph settings the dense weight and tight proportions create a dark, attention-grabbing color, while the intentionally inconsistent stroke behavior adds motion and charm. The lowercase shows sturdy, simplified bowls and short extenders, keeping the texture compact and emphatic.
