A heavy, soft-cornered sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared curves. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast and clean terminals that feel cut and blunt rather than tapered. Counters are tight and somewhat rectangular, creating a compact, sturdy texture in words. Lowercase forms show single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and a small, sturdy shoulder on n/m, while the overall rhythm is dense and highly legible at display sizes. Numerals are equally bold and geometric, with simple, spacious silhouettes and minimal detailing.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where impact and quick recognition matter. It should perform well on packaging, labels, signage, and social graphics, and can also serve as a distinctive logotype style. For longer passages, it will likely be most comfortable at larger sizes with increased leading due to its dense weight and compact counters.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, with a friendly, toy-like softness from the rounded corners. It suggests a retro sign-paint and poster sensibility—bold, approachable, and slightly humorous—without becoming decorative. The dense color and chunky shapes give it an energetic, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence with softened geometry: a sturdy, high-ink silhouette paired with rounded-square curves for approachability. It prioritizes clarity and consistency across glyphs, producing a strong, uniform typographic block that reads instantly in display contexts.
The typeface holds a consistent geometric logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing squared-off curves and strong verticals. Spacing appears intentionally compact, producing a dark, poster-ready typographic color that benefits from generous line spacing in text settings.
