A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact interior rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with soft, curved joins and subtly squared terminals that keep forms feeling sturdy rather than delicate. Counters are relatively tight (notably in B, e, a, and 8), and curves are generously inflated, giving letters a cushioned, blocky silhouette. The lowercase is simple and geometric with a single-storey a and g, a short-armed t, and a dot on i/j that reads as a rounded square. Numerals are stout and wide, with a particularly dense 8 and an open, angular 4 that contrasts the otherwise rounded system.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where impact and warmth are needed—posters, bold branding, packaging, event graphics, and large-format signage. It can work for subheads or callouts in editorial layouts, but its dense texture makes it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, with a friendly, cartoonish confidence. Its inflated shapes and tight counters create a loud, attention-grabbing voice that feels sporty and slightly retro, leaning more toward fun and immediacy than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, geometric personality—prioritizing bold legibility, broad shapes, and a cohesive rounded construction for contemporary display typography.
Wide spacing and large letterforms hold up well at display sizes, but the dense counters and heavy joins can cause dark, inky areas in long text blocks. The design maintains a consistent geometric logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, with occasional angular accents (like the 4 and some diagonals) adding snap to the otherwise rounded palette.
