A heavy, high-contrast sans with softly inflated forms and a subtly irregular, hand-cut feel. Strokes alternate between stout verticals and tighter joins, with rounded corners and occasional wedge-like terminals that create a lively rhythm. Counters are generally open and circular, while some joins and apertures narrow abruptly, producing an inktrap-like tension at internal corners. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with simplified geometry and a slightly bouncy baseline impression across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a bold, characterful voice is needed. The strong silhouettes and rounded forms make it effective for packaging, event graphics, and short editorial bursts, especially at display sizes where its quirky details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is warm and playful, evoking mid-century display lettering and bold editorial titling. Its chunky shapes and springy curves read as friendly and attention-grabbing rather than technical or minimalist.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, retro-leaning personality, combining a bold sans foundation with quirky modulation and softened geometry to stand out in display typography.
The design leans on distinctive stroke modulation: curves often swell while verticals feel monolithic, giving letters a sculpted, cut-paper character. Numerals match the exuberant weight and roundness, with strong silhouettes that hold up at large sizes.
