A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Curves are built from smooth circular forms, while joins and terminals often show subtly sheared, wedge-like cuts that add a lively, hand-shaped feel. The lowercase is large and assertive, with simple one-story forms and short ascenders/descenders that keep the texture dense. Numerals and capitals follow the same chunky geometry, producing an even, high-impact rhythm in both single characters and paragraphs.
Best suited to large sizes where its chunky silhouettes and rounded geometry can carry the message—posters, splashy headlines, product packaging, logos, and title treatments. It can work for short bursts of copy in ads or social graphics, but longer passages benefit from generous tracking and comfortable leading.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining soft, bubbly shapes with slightly angular details that feel energetic rather than strict. It reads as modern-retro and characterful, leaning into a fun, poster-forward voice that stays friendly even at maximum weight.
The design appears intended as an attention-grabbing display sans that stays friendly and informal, using rounded construction for approachability and subtle angular cuts for character and momentum. It prioritizes bold presence and memorable letterforms over delicate detail.
In text settings the tight counters and heavy strokes create a dark, continuous color, so spacing and size become key to maintaining clarity. The distinctive angled cuts in letters like S, Z, and some diagonals add personality and help differentiate shapes, especially in display use.
