A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and soft outer corners. Strokes are broadly even and end in blunt terminals, giving the forms a solid, cut-from-a-block look. Curves are generous and slightly squarish, with large counters where possible to maintain legibility at this weight. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with single-storey forms and short, thick joins; overall spacing reads tight but controlled, producing a dense, rhythmic texture in text.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold branding systems where a friendly, high-impact word shape is needed. It can work for short bursts of text (captions, labels, calls-to-action) when ample size and spacing are available.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a playful retro flavor that feels at home in informal, energetic settings. Its chunky geometry suggests friendliness and durability rather than precision or delicacy, giving headlines a confident, upbeat voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with rounded, approachable forms—prioritizing bold readability and a cohesive, geometric feel for attention-grabbing display use.
Round letters like O/C/G and numerals such as 0/8/9 emphasize large, smooth bowls, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are kept broad and stable. Dots and small details (like the i/j tittles) are bold enough to remain visible, reinforcing the font’s strong presence in display sizes.
