A compact, heavy sans with rounded outer curves and subtly squared terminals. Strokes are broad and even, with a slightly “ink-trap” feel where joins and counters open up to preserve clarity at weight. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with single-storey forms and wide bowls; punctuation and dots are large and assertive. Numerals are equally weighty and geometric, keeping a consistent, blocky rhythm across the set.
Best suited to short to medium-length text where impact matters: headlines, posters, logos and brand marks, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can also work for emphasis in UI or editorial layouts when used sparingly and with ample spacing.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, mixing a friendly softness with a confident, poster-like presence. Its chunky shapes and generous inner spaces give it a slightly retro, display-forward character that reads energetic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact while staying approachable, using rounded geometry and opened joins to keep forms readable at very heavy weight. It prioritizes strong word shapes and a consistent, punchy texture for display typography.
Counters stay relatively open for such a heavy weight, helping letters like a/e/s and numerals like 6/8/9 remain legible. The silhouette is deliberately simplified, emphasizing mass and rhythm over fine detail.
