A contrasted sans with rounded geometry and noticeable flare at terminals. Strokes alternate between sturdy verticals and slimmer joins, creating a lively rhythm and a slightly top-heavy, inked feel. Curves are generous and smooth, while several letters show pinched or notched transitions that read like subtle ink-trap shapes. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy (notably in C, G, O, S), while lowercase letters lean toward single‑storey constructions with broad bowls and distinctive, sculpted joins. Figures are bold and graphic, with rounded counters and strong horizontal cuts, giving the numerals a sign-like clarity.
Best suited for headlines, branding, and short-to-medium editorial settings where its distinctive terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It works well on posters, packaging, and identity systems that benefit from a friendly, retro-leaning voice. For long body copy, its strong personality will be most effective when paired with a quieter companion typeface.
The overall tone is upbeat and idiosyncratic, mixing modern sans simplicity with a retro, display-forward personality. Its flared terminals and high-contrast strokes add a hand-drawn warmth that feels approachable rather than formal. The result is energetic and characterful, suited to designs that want to look distinctive without becoming decorative script.
The design appears intended to deliver a sans-serif that feels contemporary yet characterful, using contrast, flared endings, and rounded construction to create a memorable voice. It prioritizes display impact and recognizability, aiming for warmth and playfulness while keeping letterforms fundamentally clean and sans-based.
Round letters (O, o, Q) emphasize thick outer strokes with lighter interior transitions, reinforcing the contrasted, slightly calligraphic stress. The lowercase shows especially expressive details in letters like a, e, g, and y, where bowls and tails are shaped to create a playful, variable rhythm. In text lines, the font maintains a steady baseline while the sculpted terminals and notches add texture and movement.
