A slanted, heavy sans with rounded bowls and a slightly irregular, inked edge that gives the outlines a hand-cut or marker-like feel. Strokes stay broadly even, with soft joins and blunted terminals that keep counters open and shapes legible at display sizes. Proportions are compact and somewhat condensed in places, with a lively rhythm created by subtle width variation and small asymmetries across the set. Numerals are sturdy and rounded, matching the letters’ simplified geometry and warm, softened corners.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks where its weight and slant can carry personality. It also works well on packaging and casual advertising where a friendly, handcrafted vibe is desirable, while extended body text may feel heavy and tight at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, with a retro sign-painting energy and an informal, human touch. Its slant and weight add momentum and confidence, while the rounded construction keeps it friendly rather than aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, upbeat sans voice with a handmade flavor—combining simple rounded forms with a dynamic slant for quick readability and strong shelf/scroll stopping power.
In longer settings the texture is dense and punchy, producing strong word shapes and a poster-like presence. The slightly rough contouring reads as intentional, helping it feel less mechanical and more tactile.
