A heavy, rounded sans with chunky, geometric construction and soft corners. Forms are built from broad strokes with minimal contrast, using generous internal counters and frequent carved notches/cut-ins that create a modular, almost stencil-like rhythm. Curves tend toward near-circular bowls and rounded terminals, while joins and shoulders are simplified into bold, blocky transitions. The lowercase is compact and prominent, with a tall x-height and short extenders, producing dense, highly legible word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short, punchy messaging where its bold silhouettes can carry the layout. It works especially well for playful or nostalgic themes and for designs that benefit from strong shape recognition at large sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and attention-grabbing, with a distinctly retro-pop sensibility. Its chunky massing and playful cut-ins give it a toy-like, poster-friendly personality that feels energetic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with friendly, rounded geometry and a distinctive notched detailing that adds character without introducing serifed complexity. It prioritizes bold presence and a lively rhythm for contemporary-retro display work.
Several glyphs use distinctive interior apertures and notched connections (notably in letters like S, G, and some diagonals), which adds texture and helps separate shapes in tight settings. The numerals share the same rounded, heavy geometry, keeping a consistent, poster-like color across mixed alphanumerics.
