A compact, heavy sans with broad, rounded curves and strongly blunted terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters are relatively small, producing dense, high-ink silhouettes. The forms mix geometric structure with slightly softened corners: round letters stay full and smooth, while diagonals and joins are simplified for a sturdy, blocky rhythm. Numerals are wide and weighty with clear, single-storey shapes that match the letters’ squat, solid color.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where maximum impact is needed, such as posters, packaging, labels, and bold brand marks. It can also work for signage or UI callouts at larger sizes where the dense color and compact rhythm remain clear.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, combining a utilitarian sturdiness with approachable, rounded shapes. It reads as energetic and slightly retro, with a poster-like immediacy that feels confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient voice with a friendly edge—prioritizing solid letterforms, quick recognition, and a confident graphic presence in display settings.
The typeface builds strong horizontal emphasis through wide bowls and flat-ended strokes, giving words a tight, compact texture. In text, the heavy weight and small counters create a pronounced dark band, favoring impact over airiness.
