A heavy, blocky sans with rounded outer curves and broadly filled forms. The letterforms lean on simple geometric construction—large bowls and thick stems—while frequent flat terminals and occasional angled cuts add a chiseled, poster-like rhythm. Counters are relatively tight, with small interior openings in letters like a, e, and g, and the overall texture is dense and dark. Lowercase shows a tall x-height and simple, sturdy shapes; punctuation and numerals follow the same stout, high-ink silhouette for consistent color in lines of text.
Best suited to display applications where strong silhouette and impact matter most—posters, punchy headlines, packaging, signage, and brand marks. It performs especially well in short phrases and large-scale typography where the rounded, carved details can read clearly and contribute personality.
The tone is bold and approachable, combining a toy-like softness with a loud, attention-grabbing presence. Its chunky shapes and slightly carved details suggest a retro display attitude that feels energetic and informal rather than technical or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with friendly, rounded geometry, offering a bold display voice that remains playful and approachable. The combination of simple circular forms with cut, flat terminals suggests a deliberate effort to add character and rhythm without introducing ornament or serifs.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight counters reduce fine differentiation at smaller sizes, while larger settings emphasize the font’s distinctive cut-ins and rounded massing. The figures are robust and legible in a headline context, matching the overall bulky proportions of the alphabet.
