A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and broadly squared proportions. Curves are smooth and bulbous, while joins and terminals tend toward blunt, slightly softened edges that keep the texture dense and even. Bowls and apertures are relatively tight, creating a dark, poster-like color; diagonals are stout and simplified, and the overall rhythm favors chunky geometry over fine detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, retail signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks where mass and silhouette do most of the work. It can also support playful branding and attention-grabbing social graphics, but the tight counters and dense texture make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The tone is loud and approachable, mixing a retro sign-painting/block-letter feel with a friendly, cartoonish softness. Its weight and rounded shapes project confidence and informality, making it feel energetic rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, rounded voice—optimized for display typography where bold shapes, compact counters, and simplified geometry create immediate readability and strong brand impact.
The uppercase reads as sturdy and architectural, while the lowercase adds more personality through single-storey forms and more pronounced curves. Numerals appear built for clarity at display sizes, with bold silhouettes and minimal interior whitespace.
