A heavy, geometric sans with broad, blocky construction and generously rounded curves. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with tight interior counters that read as compact cut-ins rather than open bowls. Terminals tend to be flat and squared off, while curves stay smooth and inflated, producing a stable, poster-like texture. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g) and short ascenders/descenders that keep lines dense. Numerals follow the same chunky logic, with simplified shapes and small apertures that emphasize mass over openness.
Best suited to large sizes where its chunky silhouette and rounded geometry can carry impact—display headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short signage phrases. It is less suited to long-form reading because the tight counters and dense rhythm reduce clarity at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a cartoonish, retro flavor that feels energetic rather than formal. Its inflated curves and dense counters give it a humorous, attention-grabbing voice suited to playful or throwback styling.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that prioritizes bold silhouette and friendly, rounded geometry. Its compact apertures and stout proportions suggest a deliberate choice for visual punch and retro/playful personality in branding and headline typography.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, creating a solid typographic “wall” in text. Several letters show slightly pinched joins and small cut-ins at curves (e.g., around S/C/G-like shapes), reinforcing a sculpted, stamped look rather than a cleanly engineered one.
