A condensed display face built from thick, ink-trap-like strokes that swell into rounded terminals and pinch tightly at joins. Counters are small and often teardrop-shaped, while interior connections create a soft, bone-like silhouette with pronounced thick–thin rhythm. The overall construction is upright with simple skeletons, but the outlines wobble in a controlled way, producing a lumpy, fluid texture across words. Spacing reads compact, and the narrow proportions make vertical stems and stacked curves feel tall and columnar.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, packaging callouts, and expressive logotypes where its sculpted thick–thin texture can read clearly. It also works well for retro-themed graphics and large headline typography, especially when generous line spacing is available.
The letterforms project a cheerful, psychedelic-leaning retro tone—more funhouse and poster-friendly than formal. Its soft swelling shapes and pinched waists give it a bouncy, animated character that feels playful and slightly eccentric.
The design appears intended to evoke a 60s–70s-inspired, hand-drawn display look with exaggerated swelling terminals and tight waist pinches, prioritizing personality and rhythm over neutral readability. Its condensed stance helps create tall, attention-grabbing word shapes while maintaining a cohesive, organic texture.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same swelling/waisting logic, creating a consistent word-image at display sizes. Numerals follow the same blobby, pinched construction, keeping mixed text cohesive. The distinctive interior notches and tiny counters add visual sparkle but can build density in long lines.
