A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and subtly irregular, inked contours. Strokes are thick with mildly varied width, and terminals often look blunted or slightly chipped, giving the outlines a stamped or cut feel rather than a perfectly machined edge. Counters tend to be small and rounded, with open apertures kept tight by the overall weight. The design reads condensed overall, with tall, sturdy capitals and a straightforward lowercase that stays simple and legible while retaining the same softened geometry.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where its dense weight and condensed proportions can deliver impact. It works well for posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a friendly retro feel, and can add character to editorial pull quotes or section headers when set with comfortable spacing.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, mixing retro sign-lettering energy with a handmade, slightly rough finish. Its chunky forms feel confident and loud, while the softened corners keep it from becoming harsh or industrial.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, attention-grabbing display voice that feels human and tactile. By pairing rounded-rectangle skeletons with slightly uneven edges, it aims to balance clarity with personality for branding and expressive typography.
Round letters (like O and Q) skew toward squarish, superelliptical bowls, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are thick and emphatic. The numerals share the same compact, blocky rhythm, with a strong, poster-like presence and a touch of intentional roughness at edges and joins.
