A compact, heavy sans with rounded geometry and softened corners that keeps strokes thick and consistent throughout. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be tightened, giving letters a dense, poster-like color on the page. Curves are smooth and circular, while joins and diagonals remain blunt and sturdy, producing a cohesive, blocky rhythm in both upper- and lowercase. Numerals follow the same full, rounded construction, with simplified interior shapes that prioritize impact over fine detail.
Best suited to short-form display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where a compact, rounded silhouette helps text hold presence. It can also work for signage or social graphics when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is upbeat and attention-grabbing, with a friendly softness that prevents the weight from feeling harsh. Its chunky silhouettes and rounded forms evoke a retro, pop-forward sensibility suited to bold, approachable messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice—balancing dense, heavy shapes with smooth curves for a confident, approachable display sans.
At larger sizes the tight counters and closed shapes read as intentional, graphic mass; in smaller settings the dense interiors can reduce differentiation between similar forms. The spacing and proportions feel geared toward display use, where the strong black shapes and smooth curves can carry visual energy across lines of text.
