A heavy, rounded sans with soft, slightly tapered joins and compact counters that create a dense, ink-rich texture. Curves are broad and smooth, while terminals often feel subtly flared or angled, giving strokes a buoyant, hand-cut look despite the overall geometric construction. Capitals are blocky and stable with wide bowls (B, D, O) and a round, open C/G structure; the Q has a prominent tail. Lowercase forms keep a sturdy, simplified build—single-storey a and g, a squat e with a small aperture, and a short-armed r—supporting an even, poster-like rhythm. Numerals are robust and rounded, with a closed 4 and ample mass throughout for strong presence.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and other display applications where strong impact is needed—posters, packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks. It can work for short bursts of text or pull quotes at larger sizes, but the dense counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and confident, combining a retro display feel with a friendly softness. Its rounded weight and compact spacing read as approachable and fun while still delivering a loud, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, rounded silhouette—prioritizing bold legibility and a lively rhythm for attention-driven typography. Subtle flares and energetic diagonals suggest a deliberate nod to vintage display lettering while maintaining a clean, modern sans structure.
In text settings the heavy strokes and tight interior spaces produce a dark, cohesive color, favoring short lines and larger sizes. Angular touches on some terminals and diagonals (notably in V/W/X and the angled joins in bowls) add energy and help prevent the forms from feeling overly static.
