A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and broadly circular bowls. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with subtly irregular contours that create a handmade, slightly distressed edge. Terminals are blunt and soft rather than sharp, and counters tend to be small and closed, giving the face a dense, stamp-like color on the page. Curves dominate the construction, while straights (like E, F, T, and H) retain a gently uneven, cut-out look that keeps the rhythm informal.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and label-style graphics where a friendly, bold voice is desired. It also works well for stickers, merch, and social graphics, especially when paired with simple supporting text that can carry longer reading.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, with a nostalgic, poster-friendly personality. Its imperfect edges and chunky silhouettes suggest a DIY, screen-printed or cut-paper aesthetic that feels lively and casual rather than technical or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, informal character—combining stout, rounded geometry with slight edge irregularities to evoke a handcrafted display feel.
At text sizes the tight counters and heavy ink gain can reduce internal clarity, but the bold silhouettes remain highly recognizable. The numerals match the same rounded, blocky logic, and the forms keep a consistent, cheerful weight across the set.
