A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and soft, generously curved corners. The forms lean geometric, with broad circular bowls (O, o, 8) and stout, rectangular stems that give the alphabet a dense, poster-ready color. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and terminals tend to finish with blunt, squared-off cuts rather than tapered ends. Overall spacing reads sturdy and compact, producing strong, even texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand moments where impact and quick recognition matter most. It works well for packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from a compact, high-ink silhouette and rounded, friendly geometry.
The tone is loud and confident, with a friendly, slightly cartoonish warmth from the rounded geometry. It suggests retro display lettering and sporty headline typography—bold enough to feel energetic, but smooth enough to stay approachable.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with smooth, geometric shapes and minimal detailing, prioritizing punchy readability and a cohesive, modern-retro voice. The letterforms aim for simplicity and consistency so the type can function as a strong graphic element in layouts.
The numerals and uppercase share the same squat, solid construction, keeping the set visually unified at large sizes. In text, the thick joins and tight interior spaces create a dark rhythm that favors short bursts over long passages.
