A compact, heavy sans with soft-cornered construction and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves. Strokes are consistently thick with little apparent modulation, producing a solid, poster-ready color on the page. Counters are relatively small and often squared-off rather than fully circular, while terminals tend to be blunt and gently rounded. Proportions are tight and condensed overall, with a notably low x-height relative to the capitals and a slightly irregular rhythm across letters and numerals that adds character.
Best suited to headlines, short blurbs, and branding where a compact, high-impact look is desired. It works well for posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a friendly, retro-leaning display sans; for longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with ample line spacing.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a vintage display feel that reads as cheerful and slightly mischievous rather than formal. Its chunky curves and compact spacing give it a confident, attention-getting voice suited to energetic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, compact display sans that blends rounded-rectangle geometry with sturdy, simplified letterforms. Its emphasis is on visual punch and personality rather than neutrality, aiming for strong recognition in titles and brand-facing applications.
Distinctive details include rounded bowls paired with sharper joins in places, and numerals that lean into bold, simplified silhouettes for clarity at large sizes. In text settings the dense weight and tight shapes create strong emphasis, while the low x-height and compact counters encourage use at larger sizes or with generous leading.
