A heavy, compact display face with soft, swelling strokes and gently pinched joins that create a wavy, hand-molded silhouette. Terminals are rounded and blobby rather than crisp, and counters are small and irregularly shaped, giving the letters a dense, inky color. Proportions are narrow overall, but individual letters vary in width, producing a lively rhythm and uneven texture. The alphabet shows simplified, mostly single-storey lowercase forms and a straightforward, upright construction with subtle, droplet-like modulation in stems and cross-strokes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and promotional graphics where a strong retro voice is desirable. It can work for playful branding and titles, but dense paragraphs will feel heavy due to the compact counters and emphatic stroke weight.
The tone is upbeat and cheeky, with a strong 60s–70s poster energy. Its gooey curves and bouncy spacing read as relaxed and fun rather than formal, leaning into a psychedelic, cartoon-adjacent charm.
The design appears intended to evoke a nostalgic, groovy display look with organic, fluid forms and an intentionally irregular rhythm. It prioritizes personality and visual punch over neutrality, aiming to feel warm, handmade, and distinctly era-referential.
The tight apertures and heavy interior shapes make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the irregular counters and soft ink-trap-like pinch points become part of the personality. Numerals follow the same inflated, rounded logic, keeping the overall texture consistent across mixed text.
