A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly blunted corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating a dense, poster-like texture. Counters are relatively small and often squarish, and curves resolve into broad, flattened terminals that keep the silhouette sturdy. Overall spacing reads tight and economical, with a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel in the way some joins and curves land, while still maintaining a clear, coherent rhythm across the set.
Best suited for short to medium-length display use where its weight and compactness can create strong impact—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and bold branding moments. It also works well for playful logos and titling where a friendly, slightly retro personality is desired. For long passages at small sizes, the tight counters and heavy texture may reduce readability.
The font conveys a friendly, upbeat tone with a retro display energy. Its chunky forms and softened geometry feel approachable and humorous, leaning toward a casual, informal voice rather than a corporate one. The slightly quirky shapes add personality that reads as handcrafted or cartoon-adjacent.
Designed to deliver high-impact display typography with a soft geometric voice. The rounded-rectangle skeleton and blunt terminals suggest an intention to balance boldness with approachability, creating a distinctive, characterful sans for attention-grabbing applications.
Round letters tend to look more like superelliptic boxes than perfect circles, which reinforces a geometric-but-soft character. The numerals match the same sturdy, compact logic, making the set feel cohesive in mixed alphanumeric settings.
