A compact, heavy sans with subtly irregular, hand-cut contours and a gently wavering baseline rhythm. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with small angular inflections and soft corner transitions that keep the shapes lively rather than geometric. Counters are relatively tight and rounded, while terminals often taper or kink slightly, giving letters a cut-paper or brush-carved feel. Capitals are tall and sturdy, and the lowercase shows a simple, single-storey construction with a compact, readable silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, covers, event graphics, and bold branding moments where personality matters. It can work well on packaging and social graphics, and for playful editorial headers, but the dense weight and quirky rhythm are likely to feel busy in long passages of small body text.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a lightly mischievous, cartoon-adjacent energy. Its unevenness reads as intentional and human, making it feel friendly and approachable rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold sans voice with handcrafted character—combining clear, simple letter structures with deliberate irregularities to create warmth, motion, and memorability in display typography.
Spacing appears on the tight side for such heavy forms, enhancing density and impact in headlines. The numerals follow the same lively, slightly distorted logic, staying cohesive with the letterforms and maintaining strong presence at display sizes.
