A heavy, rounded sans with blocky geometry and softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick, with broad shoulders and generous bowls that create compact internal counters, especially in letters like O, B, and e. The design mixes straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) with strongly curved terminals and cut-in notches, producing a sculpted, slightly irregular silhouette across the alphabet. Lowercase forms lean on single‑storey constructions and simplified joins, keeping the texture dense and punchy in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and campaign graphics where its dense weight and rounded forms can dominate the page. It also fits branding and packaging that wants a friendly, retro-leaning voice, and logo wordmarks where the distinctive notches and heavy silhouettes remain legible at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and good-humored, with a retro display feel that reads as lively rather than formal. Its rounded massing and quirky cut-ins give it a toy-like, pop culture energy suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended as an expressive display sans that maximizes impact through broad strokes and rounded structure while adding personality through subtle incisions and irregular shaping. It prioritizes bold presence and a distinctive texture over neutral, low-key readability.
Spacing and counters appear tight at display sizes, emphasizing a dark, continuous rhythm. The numerals are similarly chunky and compact, matching the letterforms’ rounded, cut-out style and maintaining strong visual uniformity in mixed typography.
