A compact, heavy sans with softened corners and subtly uneven, hand-cut contours. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with small nicks and slight curvature that keep the outlines from feeling mechanically perfect. Uppercase forms are tall and tight with simplified geometry, while lowercase shows single-story a and g and a sturdy, vertical rhythm. Counters are relatively small, terminals are blunt, and the numerals are bold and rounded, producing strong, dark texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and playful branding. It can work for bold UI callouts or social graphics where a friendly, characterful voice is needed, but extended reading will benefit from larger sizes and extra spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a mild DIY or cut-paper character that reads as intentionally quirky rather than rough. Its condensed, chunky forms give it an energetic, poster-like presence that feels retro and informal.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a tight width while retaining a friendly, hand-touched feel. The simplified, rounded construction and consistent heaviness suggest a display-first intent focused on immediacy and personality.
Spacing appears compact and the heavy color builds quickly in paragraphs, making it most comfortable at larger sizes or with generous tracking. The irregularities are consistent across letters and figures, adding personality without turning into distressed texture.
