A heavy, rounded sans with broad, even strokes and softly squared terminals. Curves are full and smooth, with slightly flattened bowls that give letters a sturdy, compact feel. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and joins stay clean and uncomplicated, producing solid silhouettes that read clearly at display sizes. The lowercase shows a single‑storey a and g, a compact e with a small aperture, and a straightforward, vertical rhythm that keeps words looking dense and cohesive.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that need a warm, high-impact presence. It also works well for short UI labels, signage, and social graphics where dense, bold letterforms help maintain clarity at a glance.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, leaning more friendly than technical. Its inflated curves and sturdy proportions create a lively, slightly retro voice that feels energetic and upbeat while still remaining direct and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a friendly, rounded construction, balancing strong legibility with a playful, retro-leaning character for attention-grabbing display typography.
In running text the color is very dark and consistent, creating strong emphasis and clear hierarchy. The numerals match the letters with rounded geometry and thick strokes, prioritizing impact over delicacy.
