A heavy, high-contrast sans with broad, rounded forms and sculpted ink traps that create distinct notches and teardrop-like counters in several letters. Curves are generously inflated (notably in C, O, S, and the bowls of a/b/d/p), while joins and terminals often pinch or flare, producing a carved, poster-like rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with simple, mostly single-storey constructions (a, g), and the numerals are wide and prominent with pronounced interior cutouts. Overall spacing reads tight-to-moderate, with strong black coverage and clear silhouette emphasis at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where bold silhouettes and distinctive counter shapes can read clearly. It can add character to short UI labels or section headers, but its sculpted details are most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is upbeat and attention-seeking, mixing mid-century/retro warmth with a slightly funky, cut-paper irregularity. It feels friendly and energetic rather than neutral, projecting a confident, headline-forward personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a playful, retro-leaning voice—using extreme weight, sculpted joins, and expressive counters to create memorability while keeping overall letterforms simple and sans-based.
Several glyphs show intentional asymmetries and shaped counters (e.g., Q’s tail and the angled/waisted joins in K, R, and W), giving the design a handmade, sculptural flavor while still staying within a clean sans framework.
