A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay broadly even, with squarish bowls and counters that feel pressed and slightly uneven, giving the outlines a subtly hand-cut look. Terminals are blunt and padded rather than sharp, and joins tend toward compact, sturdy shapes. The lowercase shows a tall, dominant x-height with short extenders, producing dense, bold text color and strong word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where strong impact and personality are desired—posters, headlines, packaging, brand marks, and short promotional copy. It can work for large-scale wayfinding or signage when generous spacing and size help preserve the counters and letter differentiation.
The overall tone is friendly and energetic, with a casual, poster-like confidence. Its softened geometry and slight irregularity read as approachable and handmade rather than clinical, evoking a retro sign-painting or cut-paper feel.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, friendly display voice built from rounded-rect geometry, prioritizing immediacy and charm over strict precision. The slight organic irregularity suggests an intention to mimic hand-cut or stamped lettering while keeping a clean sans foundation.
The bold weight and compact internal counters can cause letters to darken quickly in longer lines, especially where forms narrow or pinch. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded-rect aesthetic, maintaining a consistent, emphatic texture across mixed alphanumerics.
