A compact, heavy sans with thick strokes, rounded outer contours, and frequent pinched internal cuts that create irregular counters and notch-like joints. Many forms feel slightly squeezed or carved, with occasional wedge terminals and uneven apertures that add a hand-shaped, cut-paper quality. Curves are broad and smooth while the interior spaces often shift off-center, producing a lively rhythm and a subtly bouncy baseline impression in text. Figures and caps share the same dense, blocky construction, prioritizing mass and silhouette over fine detail.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where its heavy silhouettes and quirky counters can read clearly and add personality. It works well for posters, packaging, and branding that wants a bold, friendly presence, and for display settings where strong texture is an asset rather than a liability.
The overall tone is playful and attention-seeking, mixing friendliness with a bold, poster-like assertiveness. Its quirky counter shapes and carved joins give it a retro, cartoonish energy that feels informal and expressive rather than neutral or corporate.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, unconventional sans construction, using sculpted counters and notched joins to create memorability. It prioritizes character and display presence over restraint, aiming for a lively, approachable look at larger sizes.
The design relies on distinctive negative-space decisions—small counters, teardrop-like openings, and occasional slit cuts—that become more noticeable at larger sizes. The texture in paragraphs is strongly black, with distinctive word shapes driven by the unusual inner contours.
