A heavy, wide Latin with slab-like feet and softly rounded corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear and robust, with squared counters and gentle curvature that keeps the forms from feeling sharp. The uppercase is blocky and stable, while the lowercase shows single-storey a and g and compact, rounded bowls that read clearly at display sizes. Numerals follow the same squared-yet-soft construction, maintaining consistent width and weight across the set.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where its width and weight can anchor a layout. It works well for branding, packaging, and signage that needs a sturdy presence with a friendly, rounded voice. In longer passages it will be most effective at larger sizes where the wide letterforms have room to breathe.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, mixing industrial sturdiness with a cushioned, rounded finish. It suggests a retro, sign-paint and sportswear-adjacent mood—confident and bold without feeling aggressive.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with high legibility, pairing slab-like structure with rounded finishing for a softer, more contemporary friendliness. The consistent stroke weight and wide stance suggest an emphasis on bold, graphic communication for display-led typography.
The design leans on flat terminals and slabby endings, but the softened radii and rounded inner corners give it a friendly texture. Wide proportions and large interior spaces help maintain clarity, while the chunky joins and tight curves create a distinctive, slightly toy-like rhythm in running text.
