A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark word shapes and strong vertical rhythm. Counters are small and often squarish, with tight apertures and chunky joins that keep the texture solid at display sizes. The lowercase is large and sturdy, with short extenders and simplified, geometric forms that lean toward superelliptical rounds rather than perfect circles.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, poster typography, logos, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can add personality to editorial openers or social graphics where a dense, attention-grabbing texture is desired, but will feel heavy for long reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a toy-like softness with poster-grade assertiveness. Its rounded block geometry reads upbeat and slightly retro, giving headlines a friendly but commanding presence.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, geometric voice—prioritizing thick silhouettes, tight counters, and rounded-rectangle forms for strong display performance and a distinctive, playful presence.
The design emphasizes mass and silhouette over internal detail, so spacing and counters feel intentionally tight. Rounded corners and superellipse bowls help keep the weight from feeling harsh, while the heavy caps create a strong, billboard-style cadence in all-caps settings.
