A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and broadly drawn curves. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and large counters that keep forms open at display sizes. The uppercase set feels sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase introduces more quirky, constructed details—single-storey a, a compact e, and a g with a prominent ear—adding a slightly irregular rhythm. Numerals are wide and bold, with simple silhouettes and strong, poster-like presence.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where weight and shape can do the work—posters, bold branding systems, packaging, social graphics, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for brief subheads or callouts, but its strong personality and mass make it less ideal for long-form body copy.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, mixing confident weight with a friendly, slightly whimsical character. Its rounded geometry and chunky silhouettes create a casual, upbeat feel that reads as retro-leaning without becoming novelty.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with friendly, rounded geometry and simplified construction. The letterforms prioritize bold legibility and a lively, characterful rhythm, aiming for memorable display typography that feels modern yet nostalgically warm.
Spacing appears generous enough to prevent clogging at large sizes, and the forms rely on clear, simplified shapes rather than fine detail. Some glyphs show intentionally idiosyncratic terminals and joins, giving the face a handcrafted, personality-forward texture in running headlines.
