A heavy, compact sans with chunky strokes and subtly irregular, hand-cut contours. Corners are generally softened rather than sharp, and many joins and terminals show slight waviness that keeps the texture lively. Proportions lean squat and sturdy, with relatively large counters in letters like O, P, and R, and a consistent, poster-like darkness across text. Numerals and lowercase share the same robust build, with small idiosyncrasies in curves and diagonals that add character without breaking overall cohesion.
Best suited to display settings where its bold mass and handmade texture can be appreciated: posters, signage, packaging, and brand marks that want an approachable, punchy voice. It also works well for short, high-impact headlines and playful editorial callouts where a bit of roughness adds warmth.
The tone is bold and friendly, with a crafted, cut-paper feel that reads as informal and energetic rather than technical. Its mild irregularity suggests a vintage display sensibility—more playful and human than neutral—while staying clear enough for short statements and headings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a handcrafted, slightly roughened silhouette—combining the clarity of a simple sans structure with the charm of imperfect edges for a lively, retro-leaning display effect.
The rhythm is intentionally uneven in a controlled way: curves look slightly flattened, verticals feel weighty, and diagonals (like in V, W, and X) are broad and assertive. The lowercase maintains strong presence for a sans, with sturdy bowls and a generally compact, workmanlike stance.
