A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and largely uniform stroke thickness. Forms are built from circular bowls and straight-sided stems, with subtly softened corners that keep the silhouette friendly rather than rigid. Counters are relatively tight, giving letters a compact, ink-trap-free appearance and strong color at display sizes. The lowercase shows single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and sturdy, short extenders, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are wide and emphatic. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, matching the overall solid, poster-like texture.
Best suited for display typography where weight and width can do the work: headlines, posters, storefront or event signage, punchy branding, and packaging. It can also serve short UI labels or callouts when a friendly, high-contrast presence is needed, but it is most effective at larger sizes where its tight counters remain clear.
The tone is bold and approachable, leaning playful and slightly retro through its chunky geometry and rounded construction. It reads as energetic and informal, with a toy-like sturdiness that feels suited to attention-grabbing headlines rather than quiet, text-centric settings.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, geometric personality—prioritizing bold silhouettes, simple construction, and consistent stroke weight for confident display use.
The design maintains a consistent, high-impact rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing dense typographic color and strong word shapes. Round letters (O, Q, o) appear especially circular, while terminals tend to end in clean, flat cuts that reinforce the geometric voice.
