A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and strongly simplified letterforms. Strokes are thick and consistent in mass, with softly squared terminals and generous curves that create a smooth, blocky silhouette. Counters tend to be compact, giving the glyphs a dense, poster-like color, while diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y) keep a sturdy, geometric feel. The lowercase is sturdy and straightforward, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed t, and a robust, rectangular i/j dot that matches the overall weight.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and brand marks where a compact, high-impact word shape is needed. It also works well for packaging, labels, and signage that benefits from a friendly but emphatic voice, and for short UI or social graphics where strong presence matters more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, combining a friendly softness with assertive display impact. It suggests mid-century and sign-painting energy without feeling ornamental, making it feel approachable, loud, and attention-grabbing.
Likely designed as a display sans that maximizes visual punch through broad, rounded forms and dense counters, delivering a warm, accessible personality while keeping the construction clean and modern.
Spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, and the rounded corners help prevent the heavy weight from feeling harsh. The numerals match the letters in density and curvature, with especially strong, graphic shapes for 2, 3, 5, and 8 that read well in large settings.
