A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and softened corners that read as slightly carved or hand-cut rather than purely geometric. Strokes are robust and fairly even, but with subtle irregularities and small notches in joins and curves that create an ink-trap-like texture. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) are slightly squarish in their curvature, while straight-sided forms keep broad, stable verticals. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with short, blocky terminals and a single-storey construction where visible, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a friendly, attention-grabbing voice is needed. It also works well for short bursts of text in signage or social graphics, particularly at larger sizes where the subtle irregularities become a feature rather than noise.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a casual, slightly retro personality. The small quirks in the outlines add a handmade warmth that feels informal and expressive without becoming messy.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, modern sans foundation with a deliberately imperfect finish, adding character and warmth while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable. The emphasis is on impact and personality for display contexts rather than neutral, continuous reading.
Spacing appears generous enough for large display use, and the softened geometry helps maintain legibility at heavier sizes. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction and feel consistent with the capitals.
