A dense, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing sturdy counters and a compact, high-ink silhouette. Corners are generally softened rather than fully circular, and many joins feel carved and blunt, creating a chunky rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase is robust and simplified, with single-storey forms and wide, stable bowls; figures are similarly weighty with squarish curves and large interior spaces.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It can work well for signage and short statements at medium to large sizes, especially when strong contrast against the background is available.
The overall tone is confident and approachable, with a playful, slightly retro flavor driven by its chunky geometry and softened corners. It reads loud and upbeat, prioritizing impact and friendliness over refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, geometric personality—combining the authority of a heavy sans with rounded, approachable shapes for attention-grabbing display typography.
In text, the heavy weight creates strong word shapes and short-range legibility, while the compact apertures and tight interior details can visually darken at smaller sizes. The design’s squarish rounding gives it a distinctive “cushioned” look that feels consistent across letters and numerals.
