A heavy, high-contrast display sans with broad proportions and softly sculpted contours. Strokes show calligraphic stress and flared, cupped terminals that create a carved, poster-like texture rather than a geometric or monoline feel. Curves are full and bulbous (notably in rounds like O, Q, and 8), while joins and counters stay open enough for large-size clarity. Overall spacing reads generous, with a slightly uneven rhythm across letters that adds character without tipping into handwriting.
Best suited for headlines and short passages where its high-contrast modulation and broad stance can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for posters, packaging, and branding that wants a playful retro punch, and can add character to book covers or editorial openers when used with ample spacing.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a nostalgic, show-card flavor. Its lively modulation and rounded, swelling forms feel approachable and theatrical, suggesting a confident, humorous voice rather than a neutral corporate one.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, vintage-leaning display voice. The intent appears to balance sans simplicity with calligraphic contrast and expressive terminals, creating a distinctive texture that stands out in title and branding contexts.
The numerals are stout and attention-grabbing, matching the letters’ strong contrast and rounded massing. Several shapes lean on distinctive terminal cuts and asymmetric details (e.g., the Q tail and varied lowercase forms), which increases personality and makes the texture intentionally irregular in running display text.
