A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and even, with large counters that keep the letters open despite the weight. Terminals are blunt and gently rounded, and several forms show subtle, angled cuts that add a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm. Overall spacing feels tight and punchy, emphasizing solid silhouettes and clear, high-impact shapes.
Best suited for headlines, short blocks of copy, and display applications where weight and personality are assets—such as posters, packaging, branding, and logo wordmarks. It can work in larger UI labels or signage when a friendly, high-contrast-in-size presence is needed, but it is less ideal for small, text-heavy reading contexts due to its dense typographic color.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a bouncy, informal energy that reads as friendly rather than corporate. Its chunky shapes and slightly quirky details evoke a retro, poster-like sensibility suited to expressive, attention-getting typography.
Designed to deliver strong impact with a warm, rounded voice, balancing geometric simplicity with small irregular cuts to avoid a purely mechanical feel. The overall intention appears to be a bold, approachable display sans that remains legible while projecting character.
The lowercase set is notably simplified and geometric, with single-storey forms where expected, and the numerals share the same rounded, sturdy construction for consistent texture in mixed text. The overall color on the page is dense, making it most effective when given generous tracking and line spacing in longer settings.
