A condensed, heavy sans with softly squared (superellipse-like) bowls and rounded terminals. Strokes stay largely even, creating a solid, inked-in silhouette with minimal contrast and a slightly irregular edge that reads as hand-cut or printed. Counters are tight and apertures are often narrow, giving the face a compact rhythm and strong vertical emphasis. Uppercase forms are simplified and sturdy, while lowercase shapes keep a tall, narrow profile with straightforward construction and minimal flourish.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, bold headlines, packaging, and storefront or event signage where its compact width and strong color can work as a distinctive voice. It can also serve in branding elements and short UI labels when used at sufficiently large sizes and with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a quirky, handcrafted texture that feels retro and slightly whimsical. Its dense forms and compact spacing create an energetic, poster-like presence, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, space-saving display sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and a subtly handmade finish. It prioritizes bold presence and a friendly, idiosyncratic character over neutral text readability.
Numerals follow the same condensed, sturdy logic, with simple, high-impact forms that hold together well at larger sizes. The typeface’s tight internal spaces and heavy color suggest it will read best when given enough size and breathing room, especially in mixed-case settings.
