A very heavy, compact sans with softly rounded corners and subtly uneven, hand-cut geometry. Strokes stay broadly consistent, but terminals often finish in angled, wedge-like cuts that create an ink-trap feel in tight joins and corners. Counters are relatively small and rounded, giving letters a dense, poster-ready color. The overall rhythm is slightly bouncy, with gentle curvature and occasional asymmetry that reads intentional rather than purely mechanical.
Best suited to large sizes where the dense counters and terminal cuts read clearly—posters, headlines, bold branding, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or display callouts when strong emphasis is needed, but extended small-size text may feel heavy due to the tight internal space.
The font projects a friendly, throwback energy—bold and attention-grabbing without feeling rigid. Its chunky forms and quirky terminal cuts suggest mid-century display lettering and playful signage, giving text a lively, informal tone.
Likely designed as a high-impact display sans that borrows from carved or stamped lettering, combining friendly rounded mass with crisp, angled terminal cuts to maintain clarity and character at bold weights.
Distinctive details include the squared-yet-rounded silhouette, clipped terminals on many verticals, and a lively mix of straight and curved segments that keeps long lines from feeling monotonous. Numerals match the same dense, cut-terminal style, supporting cohesive headline settings.
