A heavy, rounded sans with blocky, softened terminals and compact counters. Strokes are consistently thick and low in modulation, with broad curves on C/G/O and sturdy verticals that give the letters a dense, poster-like color. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g and generally compact interior spaces, while several glyphs introduce slight angled cuts and asymmetric joins that create a subtly irregular, hand-cut rhythm. Numerals are similarly weighty and simple, designed to read as solid shapes rather than delicate figures.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, brand marks, and bold signage where strong silhouette recognition matters. It works especially well when you want a friendly, attention-grabbing voice in large sizes; for long paragraphs, generous size and spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a bold, humorous energy. Its rounded geometry and chunky proportions feel friendly and slightly retro, evoking signage and playful display typography rather than formal text setting.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that balances geometric roundness with a deliberately imperfect, cut-paper feel. Its goal is to deliver maximum impact and warmth, prioritizing bold presence and a playful rhythm over neutral, text-oriented refinement.
The texture on a line is intentionally lively: small inconsistencies in curves and joins keep repeated letters from feeling purely mechanical. The heavy weight and tight counters can cause shapes like e/a/s to visually fill in at smaller sizes, reinforcing its display-first character.
