A compact, heavy sans with rounded geometry and gently softened corners. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing solid, poster-like letterforms with open, simple construction and minimal modulation. Round letters (O, C, G) are close to circular with generous interior counters for the weight, while straighter forms (E, F, H, N) keep a clean, blocky rhythm. The lowercase is single-storey where expected (a, g) and maintains a consistent, sturdy texture; punctuation and terminals appear squared-off but eased, avoiding sharp joins.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and brand marks where impact and legibility at a distance matter. The dense weight and rounded construction also work well for packaging, storefront-style signage, and graphic layouts that need a warm, bold sans voice.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly retro, sign-painter confidence. Its thick, compact silhouettes feel energetic and informal rather than corporate, giving headlines a friendly, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a compact footprint while staying friendly and readable. It balances geometric roundness with simple, sturdy structures to create a versatile display sans for modern-retro branding and bold editorial use.
The type sets into a dense, even color that holds together well at large sizes, with rounded joins helping prevent harsh dark spots. Numerals match the same bold, rounded construction, supporting cohesive display typography.
