A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a strongly compacted, poster-like color. Curves are built from near-circular bowls and smooth arcs, paired with flattened terminals and softly chamfered joins that keep corners from feeling sharp. Counters stay open despite the dense weight, and the overall rhythm is steady and even, with a slightly boxy geometry in straight-sided letters and wide, stable rounds in O/C/G forms. Numerals match the letters’ mass and curvature, with clear, simple silhouettes designed for strong presence.
Best suited to headlines and short-form copy where maximum impact is needed—posters, storefront signage, packaging callouts, and bold brand marks. It can also work for punchy digital hero text or section headers where a friendly, high-visibility tone is desired.
The font reads as bold and approachable, with a throwback, display-forward energy. Its rounded construction and soft corners add friendliness, while the strong blackness and wide stance communicate confidence and immediacy. The overall tone feels playful and slightly retro without becoming novelty.
Designed to deliver a strong, immediately recognizable voice through wide, rounded shapes and a uniform, weighty texture. The forms prioritize clarity at display sizes while adding warmth via softened corners and generous curves.
Spacing appears generous for a display cut, helping maintain legibility in large, dense settings. The lowercase shows the same geometric softness as the caps, creating a consistent texture in mixed-case text blocks.
