A heavy, expanded sans with broad, rounded bowls and softened corners that keep the geometry friendly rather than rigid. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with minimal modulation and a consistent, blocky rhythm across the alphabet. Counters tend to be small and compact, and many joins and terminals are subtly rounded or beveled, producing a smooth, molded look. The lowercase features a single-storey “a” and “g”, with wide, sturdy structures and short extenders that reinforce the dense, poster-like color.
Well-suited for high-impact headlines, posters, and signage where a dense, confident word shape is desirable. It also fits branding, packaging, and logo work that benefits from a friendly, retro-leaning display voice and strong shelf presence.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, reading as retro and cartoon-adjacent while staying clean enough for contemporary display work. Its wide stance and rounded details feel approachable and fun, with a slightly quirky, bouncy personality that adds energy to headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a wide, rounded silhouette, prioritizing a bold, approachable character over fine detail. Its consistent, softened geometry suggests a focus on expressive display typography that remains clean and legible at larger sizes.
The numerals and punctuation-like shapes shown follow the same chunky, rounded construction, creating a strong, uniform texture at large sizes. Tight internal counters suggest it will look best with generous spacing and at display sizes where the interior openings remain clear.
