A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded curves paired with flat, decisive terminals. The stroke weight is consistently robust, producing compact counters and a dense overall color, while subtle tapering and angled joins add liveliness to diagonals and intersections. Letterforms show a slightly bouncy rhythm—some bowls and shoulders feel intentionally inflated—while maintaining clear, simple silhouettes that hold up at display sizes. Numerals are similarly stout and rounded, with generous mass and minimal internal space.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where high impact and a playful, retro-leaning character are desired. It can work well for short to medium-length copy at larger sizes, especially when generous spacing and line height are available.
The overall tone is upbeat and assertive, combining a friendly softness with a bold, attention-grabbing presence. Its rounded shapes and chunky forms evoke a vintage poster sensibility, leaning toward fun, informal energy rather than clinical neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a friendly, rounded geometric structure, prioritizing bold silhouettes and a lively rhythm for attention-oriented design contexts.
The design favors strong black shapes over interior detail, so counters can close up quickly at smaller sizes. The mix of rounded bowls with crisp, planar terminals creates a distinctive texture in headlines, especially in all-caps settings and short phrases.
