A heavy, rounded sans with a compact, superelliptical construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with small apertures and tight interior counters that create a dense, poster-like color on the page. Curves tend to resolve into flattened rounds rather than perfect circles, giving bowls a squarish, cushiony feel; terminals are blunt and confident. The lowercase is sturdy and high-shouldered, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a robust, utilitarian rhythm that stays consistent across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where maximum impact is desired—posters, branding, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for subheads and pull quotes, but the dense interiors suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, balancing cartoonish warmth with assertive weight. Its chunky geometry and softened corners evoke mid-century display lettering and playful signage while still reading as clean and modern in structure.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice built from rounded-rectangular forms—prioritizing strong silhouette, consistent weight, and a warm, approachable presence for high-impact typography.
The tight counters and minimal openings make the face feel especially impactful at larger sizes, where its rounded-rectangle forms and distinctive silhouettes are most evident. Numerals follow the same chunky logic, favoring broad shapes and strong vertical presence.
