A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a tall lowercase that keeps lines dense and graphic. Forms are built from large circular bowls and thick stems, with softened corners and tight counters that read as punched-in shapes rather than open apertures. Curves dominate (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of b/d/p/q), while straight elements stay blunt and rectangular, producing a strong stencil-like rhythm in places where joins and cuts create distinctive notches. Overall spacing feels generous at the glyph level but visually packed due to the weight and large x-height, giving headlines a solid, poster-like mass.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold logotypes where its chunky shapes and distinctive cut-ins can be appreciated. It performs especially well in short, high-impact copy and branding applications that benefit from a friendly, retro display voice.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a toy-like, 1970s/retro display energy. Its rounded geometry and chunky silhouettes feel friendly and approachable, while the cut-ins and compact counters add a quirky, slightly mischievous character that stands out in short phrases.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that maximizes presence through thick, rounded geometry and a tall lowercase. The consistent use of compact counters and intentional cut-ins suggests a goal of creating a memorable, characterful silhouette that remains cohesive across letters and numerals.
Round letters feature small, circular counters and puncture-like terminals that become a signature at larger sizes. Diagonals (V/W/X/Y/Z) are simplified into sturdy wedges, and numerals mirror the same carved, chunky logic for a cohesive display set.
