A dense, heavy sans with broad proportions and softly rounded corners. Strokes are blunt and uniform, with squared-off terminals and compact interior counters that keep the silhouettes solid and dark. The letterforms lean on simple geometric construction—round characters (O, C, G) are full and smooth, while straight-sided forms (H, N, T, I) remain rigid and blocky. Lowercase forms are sturdy and straightforward, with a single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and generally tight apertures; figures match the same robust, poster-like rhythm.
Best suited to large sizes where its thick shapes and compact counters can read clearly—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when ample size and contrast are available, but it is less ideal for long text blocks due to its dense color and closed-in apertures.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, mixing a retro display feel with a friendly, cartoonish heft. Its wide stance and softened geometry give it an upbeat, informal voice that reads as confident and attention-seeking rather than refined or technical.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual weight and friendliness in a simplified sans structure, emphasizing strong silhouettes, rounded geometry, and a compact internal rhythm for high-impact display typography.
Spacing and shapes prioritize mass and consistency over openness: many counters are small and joins feel compact, which increases visual impact in short bursts. Curves transition into straights with minimal modulation, keeping the texture even and strongly graphic.
