A compact, heavy sans with rounded terminals and softly squared curves that keep counters open despite the thick strokes. Shapes feel slightly irregular and hand-cut in their rhythm, with gentle waviness in stems and a lively, non-mechanical baseline presence. The apertures are generally tight but readable, and the overall build favors sturdy, blocky silhouettes with smoothed corners rather than crisp geometry.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, bold headlines, event graphics, packaging, and storefront-style signage. It can also support logo wordmarks and social media graphics where a friendly, chunky presence is desired, but it is less suited to long reading at small sizes due to its dense weight and tight internal spaces.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a casual, almost cartoonish sturdiness that reads as fun rather than severe. Its dense, bouncy forms give it a nostalgic display feel reminiscent of mid-century signage and playful packaging.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact in a compact footprint while staying approachable through rounded corners and softened geometry. The subtle irregularity suggests an intention to feel human and lively rather than strictly geometric or corporate.
Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey constructions (notably the a and g), reinforcing an informal voice. Numerals are heavy and simplified with rounded corners, suited to large-size use where their chunky silhouettes can do the work. Overall spacing appears intentionally snug, enhancing the compact, poster-friendly texture.
