A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly curved terminals. Shapes are compact and full, with small counters that stay open enough at display sizes, and a subtly uneven, hand-cut feeling created by gentle curvature and slight irregularity in some joins and diagonals. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with single-storey forms (notably a and g), short extenders, and round dots on i and j. Numerals match the mass and softness of the letters, with thick, simplified silhouettes and minimal internal detail.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and short emphatic copy where its dense silhouettes can deliver maximum impact. It also works well for packaging and branding that wants a friendly, retro-leaning voice, and for logo wordmarks that benefit from rounded, sturdy shapes.
The overall tone is cheerful and assertive, combining a friendly softness with poster-level impact. Its chunky geometry and rounded corners suggest a mid-century display spirit while still feeling contemporary and approachable.
Designed to provide a high-impact display sans built from rounded, superellipse-like forms, balancing strong presence with approachable softness. The slightly quirky detailing appears intended to add personality and warmth while keeping the overall system simple and consistent.
The typeface relies on large black shapes and tight internal spaces, so it reads most confidently when given room and used above small text sizes. Wide, flat-topped strokes and rounded bowls create a consistent rhythm, while a few quirky inflections add character without turning into a novelty face.
