A heavy, rounded sans with a strongly geometric construction and large, open counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to finish with soft, rounded edges or blunt cuts that keep the silhouette clean and sturdy. Curves are broad and circular (notably in O/C/G), while verticals and horizontals remain straight and stable, creating a high-impact, poster-like rhythm. The lowercase is simple and robust, with a single-storey a and g, short extenders, and a generally compact, tightly built feel; figures are similarly chunky and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings where maximum impact and clarity are needed, such as headlines, posters, packaging, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold brand marks. It also works well for short UI labels or badges when a friendly, emphatic voice is desired, but the density suggests avoiding long body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining a confident, high-impact presence with friendly, rounded shapes. It reads as contemporary-retro: playful enough for informal messaging, yet solid and direct for attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver strong visual presence with a friendly, geometric voice—pairing simple, rounded forms with sturdy, block-like proportions to stay legible and characterful in large, attention-focused typography.
Distinctive details include the angular spur on the uppercase G and the clean, geometric bowls throughout, which reinforce a rounded-but-structured personality. The heavy weight and compact proportions make spacing and word shapes feel dense and energetic in running display text.
