A heavy, rounded sans with thick, compact strokes and gently softened corners. Curves are full and bulbous while joins stay sturdy, creating a dense, poster-like color on the page. Counters tend toward small and enclosed (notably in O, P, R, a, e), and the overall rhythm is tight with minimal internal detail. Lowercase forms are simple and robust with single-storey a and g, and numerals follow the same chunky, rounded construction for consistent texture across mixed text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, large-scale signage, and branding where a strong, friendly voice is needed. It also works well on packaging and labels, especially when set with generous tracking or in short bursts of copy.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a friendly, slightly retro sensibility. Its soft rounding keeps the weight from feeling harsh, giving it a warm, approachable presence even at very large sizes.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a rounded, approachable look, balancing geometric simplicity with soft edges for bold display typography.
At text sizes the dense strokes and small counters can reduce clarity, but the face holds together strongly in display settings. The capital set reads particularly solid and geometric, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian shape language suited to short phrases.
