A chunky display serif with softly inflated strokes and rounded terminals. The letterforms show gentle in-and-out contouring that creates a wavy, hand-shaped feel, with modest contrast and occasional flare at joins and ends. Serifs are small and irregularly bracketed, and curves are generously rounded, producing a bouncy rhythm across words. Widths vary noticeably by glyph, and counters tend toward teardrop or pill-like shapes, giving the alphabet a cohesive, sculpted silhouette.
Well-suited to display use such as posters, headlines, packaging fronts, and brand marks where a retro, playful voice is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or event graphics, especially when paired with simpler supporting text to balance its strong personality.
The overall tone feels nostalgic and lighthearted, with a groovy, slightly psychedelic bounce that reads as friendly rather than aggressive. Its irregular contours and soft swelling suggest handmade signage and 60s–70s poster lettering, adding character and charm to short lines of text.
The design appears intended to evoke a vintage, groovy display look through exaggerated weight, soft swelling contours, and irregular serif detailing. Its focus is on distinctive silhouette and rhythmic charm rather than neutrality, aiming to deliver instant personality at large sizes.
In the sample text, the heavy weight and tight internal shapes make spacing and word rhythm visually prominent; it holds together best when given a bit of breathing room in tracking and line spacing. Numerals and capitals match the same inflated, soft-serif logic, keeping the set consistent for headings and simple typographic lockups.
