A heavy, right-leaning sans with smooth, rounded terminals and a distinctly hand-drawn feel. Strokes stay broadly consistent while corners are softened, creating plump counters and a cushioned silhouette. Proportions are condensed with tall, compact letterforms, and the rhythm is lively—curves and joins vary slightly in angle and swelling, which adds an organic, marker-like texture. The numerals match the letters’ weight and slant, with simplified, bold shapes designed for quick recognition.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, stickers, packaging, and playful branding marks. It also works well for social graphics, titles, and callouts where a friendly, handmade voice is desired; it is less ideal for extended body copy at small sizes due to its heavy strokes and compact counters.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a breezy, conversational energy. Its rounded shapes and forward slant feel youthful and informal, suggesting fun, friendliness, and a bit of retro sign-painting charm rather than corporate restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver bold readability with a warm, informal personality, combining a condensed footprint with rounded, hand-lettered forms. It aims to feel energetic and approachable while still providing enough structure for clear headline use.
In longer text the dense weight and tight inner spaces create strong color and impact, while the slant and irregularity keep the line from feeling rigid. It performs best when given comfortable tracking and generous line spacing to preserve clarity in the smaller counters.
