A heavy, geometric-leaning sans with softened corners and a subtly irregular, hand-cut feel. Strokes maintain an even thickness, but terminals and joins show gentle asymmetries and slight angle changes that create a lively rhythm. Counters are generally open and rounded; curves are broad and smooth, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) feel slightly sprung rather than rigid. Uppercase forms read sturdy and compact, and lowercase has simple, single-storey construction where applicable, with short extenders and a clean, uncluttered silhouette.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where personality matters: headlines, logos, product packaging, posters, and social graphics. It can also work for brief callouts or UI accents where a friendly, informal voice is desired, especially with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a casual personality that feels human and slightly mischievous. Its small quirks—tilted cuts, soft corners, and springy diagonals—add charm without turning into novelty, making it feel contemporary and friendly rather than strict or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans with a handcrafted edge—combining simple geometric structure with subtle irregularities to keep the texture lively and distinctive in branding and display typography.
In text, the weight and rounded geometry create strong color on the page and a confident presence at display sizes. Individual shapes retain distinctiveness through open apertures and clear silhouettes, though the compact, chunky forms can feel dense when tightly set.
