A compact, rounded sans with a consistent reverse-lean and softly squarish (superellipse-like) curves. Strokes are sturdy and fairly even, with subtle modulation showing up mainly in curves and terminals rather than in strong thick–thin calligraphy. Terminals are blunt and slightly flared in places, giving many letters a gently chiseled, cartoonish finish. The overall rhythm feels bouncy and irregular in a controlled way, with small asymmetries and varied internal counters that keep the texture lively in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where personality is the goal: posters, packaging, branding marks, book covers, and punchy headlines. It can work for brief editorial pull quotes or playful signage, but the dense, tilted texture may feel busy for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The tone is upbeat and idiosyncratic, leaning toward a retro, hand-made sensibility rather than a neutral modern voice. Its reversed slant and rounded geometry make it feel mischievous and friendly, with a theatrical, display-first personality that reads as informal and expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, approachable display sans that blends rounded-rectangle geometry with a deliberately quirky reverse-lean. It prioritizes character and memorability over strict neutrality, creating a lively typographic voice for expressive titles and branding.
Caps are tall and attention-grabbing with narrow, vertical proportions, while lowercase maintains a clear, straightforward structure with rounded bowls and compact apertures. Numerals match the same chunky, tilted construction and feel made for expressive setting rather than strict alignment. In paragraph samples the texture is dark and energetic, with a noticeable forward/backward motion created by the consistent reverse slant.
