A compact, rounded sans with thick, even strokes and softly squared corners that give many shapes a rounded-rectangle feel. Curves are slightly flattened at terminals and joints, producing a sturdy, blocky silhouette with subtle irregularities that read as intentionally handmade rather than geometric-perfect. Counters are modest and openings tend to be tight, while verticals and arches keep a consistent, steady rhythm. Numerals match the letterforms with simplified, sturdy construction and the same softened edges.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, logos, packaging, labels, and any application needing a bold, friendly voice with a tactile feel. It performs best at display and large UI/wayfinding sizes where the rounded-rectangle construction and handmade nuances remain clear.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a mild vintage sign-painting flavor. Its chunky shapes and softened corners feel friendly and unpretentious, lending a playful, crafty character without becoming cartoonish.
The design appears intended to blend a sturdy, highly legible sans framework with softened, superelliptical geometry and light handcrafted texture. The goal seems to be an approachable display face that feels modern-enough in structure while retaining a casual, human touch.
Several glyphs show small asymmetries and slightly uneven joins that add texture at display sizes. The compact spacing and strong silhouettes make short words and headlines feel punchy, while dense text can appear dark and busy if set too small or too tight.
