A heavy, rounded sans with softened corners and slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are thick and generally uniform, with blunt terminals and subtly swollen joins that create a cozy, compact texture. Counters are open but not overly large, and many forms show gently pinched transitions (notably in curves and diagonals) that add a faintly carved, almost stamped feeling. The lowercase has a sturdy, compact build; the single-storey a and g, bulbous bowls, and short, stout stems reinforce the informal construction.
Best suited for display roles where a bold, friendly presence is desired: posters, headline typography, packaging, logos, and storefront or wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or social graphics when a warm, informal tone is preferred over a neutral grotesk.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a retro sign-painting and playful packaging energy. Its chunky shapes read as friendly and slightly whimsical rather than strictly technical or minimalist, giving text a casual, personable voice.
The design appears intended to deliver strong impact with an inviting, softened silhouette—combining the clarity of a sans with quirky, rounded construction for a retro-leaning, approachable display voice.
Round letters like O and Q are broad and smooth, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) keep a sturdy, slightly softened bite at the ends. Numerals are similarly chunky and lively, with curved forms (2, 3, 5, 6, 9) emphasizing the font’s rounded, informal rhythm.
