A compact, heavy sans with broad, rounded bowls and softly blunted terminals. The forms lean on simple geometric curves with minimal modulation, giving a dense, poster-like color on the page. Counters are relatively small and openings tend to be tight, while diagonals and joins (notably in K, V, W, X, and Y) are sturdy and simplified for impact. Lowercase shapes are straightforward and sturdy, with short extenders and round i-dots that reinforce the chunky, friendly construction.
Best used for headlines, short statements, logos, and display settings where strong presence is the goal. It can work well on packaging and signage, especially when paired with generous tracking and ample line spacing to keep the counters from filling in visually.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a distinctly playful, retro-leaning feel. Its thick, rounded shapes read as confident and fun rather than technical or formal, making it well suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded geometric voice—optimized for bold display typography that stays cohesive across letters and numerals while maintaining a playful, approachable character.
In text, the dense stroke mass and tight apertures create strong emphasis but can reduce clarity as sizes get smaller. The numerals match the same heavy, rounded logic, supporting cohesive headline and display use alongside the alphabet.
