A heavy, rounded sans with block-like forms, softened corners, and pronounced stroke modulation that creates a slightly “inked” feel in curved areas. Counters are generally small and rounded, with squarish interior shaping in letters like B, P, and R. Terminals tend to be blunt and softly squared, while curves on C, G, S, and O show visible thick–thin behavior that adds texture and rhythm. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a sturdy t; numerals follow the same chunky, rounded construction with simple, poster-ready silhouettes.
This font is best suited to headlines and short, high-impact text where its chunky silhouettes and contrast can read clearly—posters, packaging, signage, and bold brand marks. It can also work for playful editorial callouts or UI moments (badges, labels) when set with ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a lively retro display character reminiscent of mid-century signage and headline lettering. Its soft corners and inflated shapes keep it friendly, while the strong contrast and compact counters add punch and attitude. The result feels confident and attention-grabbing without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that balances robust, blocky mass with softened geometry and noticeable stroke modulation. It prioritizes immediate presence and a friendly retro flavor over neutrality, aiming to deliver distinctive shapes that hold up in bold, attention-led typography.
Spacing appears intentionally generous for display use, helping dense shapes remain legible in short lines. Some glyphs show slightly idiosyncratic geometry (notably in S, G, and the joints of K/V/W), which enhances the handmade, characterful impression in text settings.
