A heavy, compact sans with broad, rounded curves and slightly flattened terminals that keep counters open at display sizes. Strokes are consistently thick with modest contrast, and many joins feel gently softened rather than sharp, giving the shapes a sturdy, molded look. Uppercase forms are blocky and confident, while lowercase includes single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and simple, vertical construction that reads clearly. Figures are large and weighty, with rounded bowls and stable verticals designed to hold up in bold settings.
Best suited to display applications where strong presence is needed, such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It also works well for short, bold UI labels or signage where quick recognition and a friendly tone are important.
The overall tone is bold and approachable—confident without feeling aggressive. Its rounded construction and chunky rhythm evoke a retro, poster-like energy that feels playful and personable while still being practical for attention-grabbing headlines.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, rounded voice—prioritizing bold readability, compact rhythm, and a distinctive, slightly retro character for branding and display typography.
The face shows a strong, even color on the page with compact interior spaces that remain legible thanks to generous apertures in key letters. The dot on i/j is large and solid, reinforcing the font’s punchy, high-ink personality.
