A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a low‑contrast, solid color footprint. Strokes terminate in blunt, slightly softened corners, and many joins are squared-off rather than fully geometric, giving the letters a carved, cutout feel. Counters tend to be tight and compact (notably in B, P, R, a, e, g), while curves are generously inflated (O, Q, 0, 8), creating a strong rhythm of bold masses with small interior spaces. The numerals match the letters’ weight and breadth, with simple, sturdy silhouettes designed to hold their shape at large sizes.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as posters, big headlines, packaging, storefront/signage, and bold brand marks where a friendly, chunky presence is desired. It will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the tight counters remain clear and the heavy shapes can act as strong graphic elements.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a toy-like, poster-friendly charm. Its softened geometry and chunky forms read as upbeat and informal, leaning toward retro display aesthetics rather than neutral text minimalism.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact with a warm, rounded character—prioritizing bold silhouette recognition and a playful, retro-leaning voice for display typography.
Diagonal forms (K, V, W, X, Y, Z and 2, 7) keep crisp, straight cuts that contrast with the swollen rounds, adding energy without looking sharp or delicate. The overall impression is intentionally loud and graphic, with consistent weight distribution across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
