A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly bulging curves. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, but edges and corners show deliberate roughness and slight waviness that gives the outlines a hand-cut or inked feel. Counters are small and rounded, spacing is on the tight side, and letterforms lean on compact, vertical proportions with sturdy stems and simplified joins. Numerals and capitals match the same chunky, softened geometry, maintaining a consistent, poster-forward rhythm across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short display lines where its weight and rounded geometry can deliver maximum impact. It also fits packaging, logos, event graphics, and bold signage that benefit from a friendly retro flavor. For longer text, it works most reliably in larger sizes with ample spacing and contrast in layout.
The tone is bold and upbeat with a vintage, slightly scrappy texture. Its soft corners keep it approachable, while the uneven contours add character and a handmade energy that reads as casual and fun rather than pristine or corporate.
Designed to deliver high-impact display typography with a soft, rounded silhouette and a purposely imperfect outline, balancing friendliness with a rugged, handcrafted character. The forms prioritize instant legibility and strong silhouette recognition, aiming for memorable branding and attention-grabbing headlines.
The texture-like edge variation becomes more noticeable at larger sizes, where the irregular outline contributes to a lively, tactile presence. In dense settings the small counters and heavy mass can reduce internal detail, so it benefits from generous sizing and breathable layout.
