A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction and soft-rectangular bowls. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, poster-like color. Counters are small and often appear as rounded-rectangular apertures or notches, while joins and terminals favor blunt, squared ends softened by generous corner rounding. The overall rhythm is compact and blocky, with simplified interior shapes and occasional carved-in details that emphasize the font’s cutout look.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and merchandise where its chunky silhouettes can read clearly. It performs especially well at large sizes and in simple color applications where its compact counters and bold texture remain legible.
The tone is upbeat and nostalgic, evoking 1970s-era display lettering, arcade and toy packaging, and bold headline typography. Its friendly curvature keeps the weight from feeling aggressive, while the chunky silhouettes add humor and immediacy.
The design appears intended as a characterful display face built from rounded-rectangle geometry, prioritizing strong silhouettes, compact spacing, and a distinctive cutout interior language for instant recognition in branding and headline contexts.
Some glyphs use distinctive internal cut-ins and slot-like counters (notably in letters such as S, W, and certain lowercase forms), creating a recognizable signature at large sizes. The numerals are similarly stout and rounded, designed to match the compact, high-impact texture of the alphabet.
