A heavy, soft-cornered sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and consistent, with large enclosed counters and generally blunt terminals; curves feel squared-off rather than purely circular, creating a superellipse-like rhythm. The glyphs sit solidly on the baseline with wide, stable forms, and spacing reads tight and compact at text sizes due to the mass of the letterforms. Numerals and capitals carry the same blocky geometry, with clear, simplified shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited for headlines and short statements where strong presence and quick recognition matter—posters, packaging, signage, and bold brand wordmarks. It can work for large subheads or callouts, but the dense, heavy shapes can reduce comfort in long passages at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, leaning toward a playful, retro display feel. Its chunky silhouettes and softened corners give it a friendly, cartoon-adjacent presence while still reading as structured and graphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with friendly, rounded geometry, prioritizing impact and personality over quiet text neutrality. Its simplified, blocky construction suggests a display-first approach aimed at attention-grabbing, contemporary-retro typography.
Round letters like O/C/G show rectangular curvature with softened corners, and joins are kept smooth and sturdy rather than sharp. Some shapes (notably the S and the diagonals in V/W/X) emphasize broad, flattened curves and wide diagonals, reinforcing the poster-like impact.
