A heavy, rounded sans with pronounced stroke modulation and compact counters. The forms are built from thick verticals and tapered joins, producing a slightly bouncy rhythm and uneven color in a deliberate, expressive way. Terminals tend to be softened and often end in subtle teardrop-like tips, while bowls and apertures stay tight, giving the face a dense, poster-ready texture. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, hand-cut feel despite the upright construction.
Best suited for short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, packaging, branding marks, and storefront or event signage where its dense shapes and expressive contrast can read large. It can also work for playful UI headers or labels, but its tight counters and heavy weight make it less appropriate for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and characterful, reading as friendly and slightly whimsical rather than strictly utilitarian. Its chunky silhouettes and lively modulation evoke mid-century display lettering and playful signage, with enough structure to remain clear at headline sizes.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a retro-leaning, hand-lettered sensibility. The combination of rounded geometry and tapered strokes suggests an emphasis on warmth and impact over neutrality, targeting attention-grabbing titles and brand-forward typography.
Round characters like O and 0 appear tall and oval, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) show sharp internal angles contrasted with softened outer corners. The lowercase has a single-storey a and g, and the numeral set is bold and graphic, contributing to a cohesive, display-forward personality.
