A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact, squared-off curves that keep forms sturdy and highly legible. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth joins and subtly softened corners, giving the shapes a chunky, stable silhouette. Counters are generous for the weight (notably in O, a, e, and 8), while terminals tend toward flat, blunt endings that emphasize a strong horizontal/vertical structure. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g and simplified, geometric construction overall, with figures matching the same wide, solid build.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where strong presence and quick readability are priorities. It also works well for signage and short promotional copy, especially in large sizes where the rounded shapes and open counters can be appreciated.
The overall tone is confident and upbeat, combining a friendly softness with a loud, attention-grabbing presence. Its chunky geometry and rounded construction evoke a slightly retro, poster-like energy that feels approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice—balancing heavy weight with open interiors so text stays readable while remaining bold and characterful.
The uppercase reads especially robust and sign-like, while the lowercase maintains a compact, utilitarian rhythm suited to short lines. The numerals are bold and open, designed to hold up well at display sizes alongside the letters.
