A heavy, display-oriented sans with rounded geometry and a distinctly sculpted rhythm. Strokes are thick and clean with noticeably tapered joins and small triangular cuts that create an ink-trap-like effect at corners and tight interiors. Curves are full and circular, while terminals often finish with softened, bulb-like endings rather than blunt cuts, giving letters a slightly swollen, poster weight. Counters run compact (notably in a/e/o/p), and the overall spacing and proportions favor headline impact over delicate detail.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short statements where strong presence and quick recognition are needed. It works particularly well in branding and packaging systems that want a bold, approachable voice, and in poster or editorial display settings where its sculpted details can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone reads bold and charismatic, with a playful retro flavor and a friendly softness underneath the weight. The pronounced shaping and rounded terminals make it feel inviting rather than austere, while the dense black texture signals authority and attention-grabbing energy.
Likely designed as a high-impact display sans that balances heavy weight with legibility by carving out corners and tightening interior shapes. The softened terminals and rounded construction suggest an intent to feel friendly and contemporary while still evoking classic poster-era boldness.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and billboard-ready, with simplified construction and strong silhouettes. The numerals share the same chunky, rounded logic, maintaining a consistent dark color across lines of text. The distinctive corner notches and tapered connections add visual interest at large sizes and help keep dense shapes from closing up too quickly.
