A compact, heavy sans with tightly packed proportions and slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are thick and confident with subtle tapering and pinched joins that create small triangular notches, giving an ink-trap-like texture in corners and counters. Curves are broad and rounded, while terminals often finish with blunt, wedge-like cuts. The overall rhythm is dense and bouncy, with small apertures and generous black area that reads strongly at large sizes.
Best suited for display settings where strong color and character matter: headlines, posters, event graphics, packaging, and short brand statements. It can also work for bold signage or punchy callouts, but the dense counters and compact spacing suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The tone feels retro and upbeat, with a lively, slightly quirky stiffness that suggests mid-century poster lettering and display wood-type energy. Its chunky shapes and pinched details add personality and humor, making text feel loud, friendly, and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint while adding personality through pinched corners and wedge-cut terminals. It balances a straightforward sans foundation with deliberately idiosyncratic shaping to evoke vintage display typography and stand out in bold branding contexts.
Uppercase forms are especially assertive and rectangular in silhouette, while lowercase maintains a sturdy, simplified construction with rounded bowls and compact spacing. Numerals match the same chunky weight and exhibit the same wedge-cut terminals, keeping headings and UI numerals visually consistent.
