A heavy, blocky sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are largely uniform but show subtle modulation, with softened joins and rounded corners that keep the forms from feeling rigid. The lowercase is sturdy and wide, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed t, and a prominent, round i/j dot. Numerals are bulky and geometric, and overall spacing reads tight, creating a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, large labels, and short emphatic statements where mass and width can do the work. It can be effective for branding marks, packaging, sports or event graphics, and editorial callouts that need a loud, friendly presence.
The tone is bold and attention-grabbing, with a friendly, slightly retro personality. Its rounded edges and chunky silhouettes give it an approachable, playful feel while still projecting strength and confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy, contemporary sans foundation, adding soft geometry and subtle stroke shaping for warmth and recognizability in bold display settings.
At display sizes the letterforms feel crisp and graphic, but in longer lines the dense color and compact counters can make the rhythm feel packed. The design’s softened terminals and curved cut-ins add character and help differentiate shapes in the heaviest strokes.
