A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and large counters. Strokes are consistently thick with softened corners and gently squared terminals, giving the shapes a sturdy, blocky silhouette without sharp edges. Curves are full and circular (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), while joins stay clean and mechanical, producing a uniform, graphic rhythm in text. The lowercase features simple, single-storey construction and a prominent x-height that keeps interior spaces open at display sizes.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold signage where its thick strokes and rounded geometry can read cleanly and feel intentional. It can work for short UI labels or calls-to-action when ample spacing is available, but it’s less ideal for extended small-size text due to its heavy color and compact interior spaces.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, mixing a utilitarian sign-paint feel with a playful, retro warmth. Its wide, cushioned forms read as friendly and confident, with enough mass to feel emphatic rather than delicate.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft, friendly edge: a wide, geometric sans that prioritizes presence and clarity in large sizes while retaining an approachable personality through rounded corners and generous curves.
Wide rounds and deep counters help maintain legibility at large sizes, while the dense stroke weight and tight internal detailing can cause letters to visually merge in long lines of text. Numerals and capitals carry a strong, poster-like presence with consistent weight and rounded geometry across the set.
