A heavy, compact sans with chunky strokes and softened corners. The letterforms feel hand-shaped: curves are slightly wobbly, terminals are blunt, and counters are generally small and boxy, creating a dense, inked-in texture. Proportions lean condensed with tight internal spacing, while widths vary from glyph to glyph, adding an uneven, organic rhythm. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey forms and minimal detailing; dots and punctuation-like elements appear rounded and slightly oversized relative to the x-height.
Best suited to display settings where a compact, high-impact word shape is needed—posters, bold headlines, packaging, and characterful logotypes. It can also work for short captions or callouts where a friendly, handcrafted tone is desirable, but the dense counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or long reading passages.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, with a craft-made imperfection that reads friendly rather than strict. Its slightly cartoony silhouettes and compact darkness evoke retro packaging and playful display typography, lending personality and warmth to short messages.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, attention-grabbing sans with a deliberately imperfect, hand-rendered surface. It prioritizes personality and punch over strict geometric regularity, aiming for approachable, retro-leaning display use.
Verticals often show subtle swelling and tapering that mimics marker or brush pressure, and joins can look slightly pinched, reinforcing the handmade feel. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, staying compact and dark for consistent impact in mixed text.
