A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, and many terminals finish with subtle flare or taper that suggests a hand-cut or brush-informed edge. Counters are compact and often squarish, keeping interior spaces tight and giving the face a dense, poster-like color. Proportions are tall with short ascenders/descenders relative to cap height, and widths vary noticeably by letter, creating a lively rhythm. The lowercase has a prominent x-height and simple, single-storey forms, while figures are sturdy and compact with similarly rounded geometry.
Best suited to short display settings where its dense texture and quirky rhythm can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging, signage, and brand marks. It can work for brief callouts or subheads, but its tight counters and condensed build are more comfortable at medium-to-large sizes than in long text.
The overall tone feels cheerful and informal, with a slightly vintage, sign-painter energy. Its condensed heft and softly irregular finishing give it a personable, handmade character rather than a strictly mechanical one.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while retaining a friendly, approachable voice. The rounded-rectangle forms and subtle handmade finishing suggest an intent to evoke vintage display lettering with modern consistency and strong readability at display scale.
The font’s rhythm is defined by tight counters, narrow sidebearings, and small shape idiosyncrasies that become more apparent at display sizes. The compact punctuation and firm verticals help it stay assertive, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable.
