A heavy, compact sans with softly rounded corners and slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with counters that stay fairly open for the weight. Curves are broad and bulging, and many joins show subtle notches or chiseled transitions that create a lively, slightly uneven rhythm. The overall texture is dense and punchy, with sturdy verticals and simplified forms that prioritize impact over refinement.
Best suited to display settings where large sizes and short messages benefit from its mass and character—posters, bold headlines, labels, and playful branding. It can work in brief text blocks when ample size and spacing are available, but its dense weight and animated shapes are most effective as a statement font.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a warm, slightly goofy energy that reads as approachable rather than strict. Its imperfect, cut-paper feel suggests a retro poster sensibility and adds personality to short phrases and headlines.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact with a friendly, retro-leaning voice—combining a sturdy sans foundation with deliberately irregular, softened shapes to feel handmade and expressive.
The uppercase has strong billboard presence, while the lowercase keeps the same chunky construction, producing a consistent, rounded silhouette in text. Numerals follow the same simplified, heavy shapes, reinforcing a cohesive display voice across letters and figures.
