A heavy, rounded sans with smooth terminals and soft corners, built from solid letterforms that are visually “doubled” by an offset inner/secondary layer. The shadow/duplicate creates a cut-out, hollowed contour along one side of many strokes, producing a stacked, dimensional look. Counters are generally open and circular, curves are broad, and diagonals stay thick and stable, giving the alphabet a compact, poster-like rhythm. The numerals match the same rounded construction and carry the same offset detailing for consistent texture across the set.
Best suited to display settings where the shadowed, hollowed detailing can read clearly: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and storefront-style signage. It can work for short bursts of text or playful pull quotes, but the layered texture is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and nostalgic, evoking mid-century display lettering and playful signage. The offset interior detail reads as a lively shadow, adding motion and personality without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with built-in depth, using an offset shadow and hollow-like cut-ins to add dimensionality and a distinctive, retro-leaning personality.
The layered effect becomes most pronounced in rounded letters and bowls, where the inner offset reads as a clear secondary silhouette. In text, the repeating shadow detail creates a strong decorative texture, making the face feel more illustrative than utilitarian.
