A heavy, rounded sans with soft terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give many letters a gently “brushed” or teardrop finish. Curves are broad and smooth, counters are fairly open, and joins are clean, producing a sturdy, high-ink silhouette without looking rigid. The uppercase feels compact and strong with simplified geometry, while the lowercase shows more personality through rounded shoulders, a single-storey a, and a q with a distinct descender. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, with a notably curved, descending tail on the 9 and a broad, open 2.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its rounded weight and distinctive terminals can read as intentional style. It can also work for short bursts of UI or editorial emphasis, but is most effective when used sparingly rather than for long passages.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a slightly vintage, hand-influenced flavor. Its soft shaping and rounded endings make it feel friendly and informal, while the dense weight keeps it confident and attention-grabbing.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with rounded construction and a hint of hand-made softness. The goal appears to be combining strong readability with a playful, retro-leaning personality.
The rhythm in text is lively due to the varied curve emphasis and the slightly calligraphic modulation at terminals, which adds character at display sizes. At smaller sizes, the compact counters and heavy strokes may benefit from generous spacing and line height.
