A chunky, heavy sans with broad proportions and soft, rounded geometry. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with subtly irregular, roughened edges that feel inked or stamped rather than mechanically drawn. Counters are compact but open enough to remain clear at display sizes, and curves (O, C, S) lean toward rounded, slightly flattened shapes. Overall spacing and rhythm read sturdy and compact, with a lively, imperfect silhouette across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where the bold texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, signage, packaging, and playful branding. It also works well for labels, stickers, and social graphics that need a friendly, high-impact voice. For longer text, it’s most effective in short bursts such as pull quotes or section titles.
The texture and bulbous forms give a friendly, comic tone with a vintage, print-shop flavor. Its irregular edges add warmth and personality, suggesting a casual, handmade sensibility rather than a polished corporate voice. The result feels approachable, loud, and attention-seeking without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a handcrafted, printed feel, combining rounded, simplified shapes with intentionally imperfect edges. It prioritizes personality and visibility, aiming for an informal, retro-leaning display voice that stands out quickly in bold applications.
The uppercase has a strong poster presence, while the lowercase retains the same heavy color with simple, single-storey forms that keep the look informal. Numerals are similarly bold and rounded, matching the letterforms in weight and texture, which helps maintain consistency in headlines and short callouts.
