A heavy, rounded display face with blobby contours and softly swelling strokes. The letterforms are wide and compact, with short, chunky terminals that read like softened slab serifs. Counters are small and irregularly rounded, and the curves have a subtle wobble that gives the shapes a hand-molded feel. Spacing appears open enough for display use, while the overall color stays dense and highly graphic.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as posters, event titles, playful branding, and packaging where its chunky silhouette can carry the design. It can also work for short bursts of copy—taglines, callouts, or labels—when set with generous leading and spacing. Avoid small text or tight columns, where the small counters and heavy color could reduce clarity.
The tone is upbeat and nostalgic, channeling a 60s–70s poster sensibility with friendly, gummy shapes. Its exaggerated weight and soft corners make it feel approachable and humorous rather than strict or technical. The slightly uneven rhythm adds a casual, quirky personality suited to expressive headlines.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke a retro, feel-good display voice with an emphasis on bold silhouette and tactile softness. The wavy, blunted details prioritize personality over neutrality, aiming for instant recognition and a strong poster-like presence.
The design maintains consistent softness across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive. Some letters show distinctive notches and inward curves that increase character at larger sizes, while the dense fill suggests it will perform best when given breathing room in layout.
