A heavy, rounded sans with large, circular counters and pronounced, softly curved joins. The design favors broad, blocky strokes and compact apertures, producing dense black shapes with a smooth, geometric rhythm. Terminals are generally blunt or gently rounded, and several letters show slightly unconventional inner shapes and notches that add character without becoming decorative. Figures are bold and simplified, with rounded bowls and strong horizontal emphasis that keeps the texture even in display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where its mass and rounded geometry can read clearly. It can also work for bold signage and social graphics, especially when you want a friendly, retro-leaning voice rather than a neutral sans.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a slightly retro, cartoonish confidence. Its chunky geometry and soft curves read as friendly and attention-grabbing rather than technical or restrained.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with approachable, rounded geometry—combining sturdy, geometric construction with idiosyncratic counters to create a memorable display texture.
In text settings the tight apertures and weight create a strong, continuous texture, while the distinctive counters in letters like a, e, and g add a recognizable signature. The uppercase set feels particularly solid and sign-like, with rounded forms (O, C, G) anchoring the style.
