A condensed sans with sturdy, even stroke weight and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are intentionally irregular: stems subtly wobble, curves feel slightly lopsided, and some joins show small angular breaks that add a cut-paper or hand-drawn construction. Proportions lean tall, with compact counters and a generally tight, vertical rhythm. Uppercase has a poster-like simplicity, while lowercase maintains a large, open presence with straightforward, single-storey forms and short extenders; numerals match the same chunky, simplified geometry.
Best suited to display applications where personality is an asset: posters, headlines, packaging, labels, social graphics, and playful branding. It can also work for short blurbs or pull quotes where a casual, hand-made voice is desired, especially when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a deliberately imperfect rhythm that reads human and approachable rather than engineered. Its condensed, bold presence gives it a punchy, attention-getting feel, while the rounded shapes keep it friendly and comedic.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-cut or hand-lettered condensed sans: bold enough to stand out, but softened with rounded terminals and intentionally imperfect construction to feel friendly and craft-like.
The set shows noticeable glyph-to-glyph personality—slight tilts, uneven curvature, and occasional wedge-like corners—creating a lively texture in lines of text. This gives strong character at display sizes, though the same irregularities can add visual noise in long, small-size reading.
