A compact, heavy sans with rounded corners and softly modeled curves. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating solid, dark letterforms and strong silhouettes. Counters are tight and apertures tend to be relatively closed, while terminals are blunt and gently rounded. The overall construction mixes straightforward geometric bowls with slightly softened joins, producing a sturdy rhythm that remains clear at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where density and impact matter—posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can work for subheads and UI labels when space is tight, but the dark color and tighter counters make it most effective above small text sizes.
The tone feels friendly and emphatic, with a slightly retro, poster-like confidence. Its rounded edges and compact proportions keep it approachable rather than severe, making it read as playful and energetic while still being straightforward and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, combining sturdy geometry with softened corners for a welcoming, contemporary-retro feel. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and uniform weight to keep words cohesive and prominent in display settings.
Uppercase forms are particularly assertive, with broad, simple structures and minimal detailing. The lowercase follows the same stout logic, with single-storey forms where expected and a consistently chunky texture across words. Numerals match the weight and corner rounding, supporting a uniform, headline-oriented palette.
