A heavy, rounded sans with soft superellipse construction and subtly irregular contours. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with corners flattened into rounded chamfers that create a blocky, machined feel. Counters are compact and often squared-off, producing a tight internal rhythm, while joins and terminals show slight wobble that reads as intentionally imperfect rather than geometric. Numerals and uppercase forms appear especially sturdy and enclosed, with distinctive cut-ins and notches that add a stencil-like, rugged texture.
Best suited to display settings where its chunky silhouette and distinctive corner carving can carry personality—posters, headlines, logos, packaging, labels, and playful merchandise. It can also work for short UI or signage bursts when high impact is needed, but the compact counters and dense texture make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, mixing a toy-like friendliness with a worn, industrial edge. Its softened geometry keeps it welcoming, while the uneven details and carved corners add character that feels retro, handmade, and slightly mischievous.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, superellipse framework, then inject character through deliberate roughness and notched detailing. The intention seems to be a bold display voice that stays friendly and legible while feeling tactile and a bit unconventional.
In text, the dense shapes and tight counters create strong dark color on the page, and the irregularities become more noticeable at larger sizes where the ‘carved’ detailing reads as a stylistic signature. The design maintains consistent rounding and thickness across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping the set feel cohesive despite the intentionally roughened outlines.
