A compact, heavy sans with softly squared counters and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform, with blunt terminals and minimal modulation, giving the letters a solid, cutout feel. Curves read as tightened superellipse-like arcs rather than true circles, and many joins show slightly tapered or pinched transitions that add a subtle hand-cut irregularity. Proportions are vertically emphatic with short apertures and sturdy bowls, producing dark, continuous texture in setting.
Best suited to display roles where density and impact are desirable—posters, headlines, short titles, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for large-format signage where the compact width helps fit longer phrases without losing presence.
The overall tone is bold and good-humored, with a slightly offbeat, handmade energy. Its compressed heft and softened geometry evoke vintage display lettering—confident, attention-seeking, and a bit mischievous rather than strictly utilitarian.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual weight in a condensed footprint while keeping forms friendly through rounded-square geometry. The slight irregularities suggest an intention to feel more characterful and handmade than a strictly mechanical grotesk, making it useful for expressive display typography.
In text, the tight internal spaces and narrow fit create strong word shapes and high visual density; the most distinctive character comes from the squarish rounds and the gently uneven rhythm across letters. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded-rectangle logic and feel built for impact rather than delicacy.
