A compact, heavy sans with rounded corners and slightly pinched joints that create a subtle, sculpted stroke modulation. Curves are generously inflated (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of b/p/q), while terminals often finish with soft, squared-off ends. Counters are small and rounded, giving the face a dense, “inked” texture, and the overall rhythm feels tight and poster-like. Several forms show quirky, hand-cut geometry—such as the angular joins in V/W and the distinctive, notched crossbars and apertures—adding personality without becoming fully irregular.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where bold presence and personality are desired. It can work well for logos and short brand phrases, especially in playful or retro contexts, but the dense counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or long passages of text.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a playful retro flavor that reads like mid-century display lettering or cartoon titling. Its chunky shapes and lively details project energy and humor, making it feel informal, friendly, and attention-seeking rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that balances geometric simplicity with deliberate quirks—using rounded massing, compact proportions, and subtle contrast to create a memorable, high-impact voice for titling and branding.
The lowercase includes standout, idiosyncratic forms (single-storey a and g; compact e with a small eye; t with a strong top and short arm) that increase character at larger sizes. Numerals are heavy and rounded, matching the letterforms closely for cohesive headline setting.
