A contrasted sans with rounded, open forms and an intentionally uneven rhythm. Stroke behavior alternates between hairline connections and heavy, pooled-looking terminals, creating bulbous bowls and thickened bottoms in many letters. Curves are smooth but not mechanically uniform, and counters vary in size, adding a hand-drawn, slightly improvised feel. Uppercase and lowercase share the same soft geometry, with simplified construction and occasional asymmetry that keeps the texture lively in text.
Best suited to display settings where personality matters: posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and playful branding systems. It can also work for short bursts of copy such as pull quotes or social graphics, where its lively contrast and wide stance can become a defining visual motif.
The overall tone is cheerful and eccentric, with a cartoon-like bounce created by the mix of thin strokes and weighty blobs. It reads as friendly and informal rather than technical, leaning toward a vintage or zine-like expressiveness. The high-contrast, ink-splashed feel adds personality and a bit of mischievous charm.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive, hand-inked contrasted look within a clean sans framework, trading strict uniformity for charm and character. The goal appears to be a memorable display voice with soft geometry and dramatic internal contrast that stays readable while feeling expressive.
The typeface produces a strong black-and-white patterning: heavy areas anchor letters while fine strokes create airy bridges, so spacing and texture can feel animated across a line. Numerals follow the same logic with rounded shapes and pronounced weight pooling, giving figures a decorative, display-oriented presence. The irregularities appear consistent enough to feel designed, not accidental.
