A heavy, rounded sans with exaggerated mass and soft, sculpted curves. The letterforms use broad strokes and generous bowls, with cut-in notches and stepped joins that create a slightly carved, modular feel rather than perfectly smooth geometry. Counters are relatively tight and often oval, and the overall rhythm is punchy and compact, producing a dense texture in text. Lowercase forms show a tall x-height with simple, sturdy shapes, while numerals are thick and blocky with rounded interiors.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its bold shapes can dominate the page—posters, title cards, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for playful signage and brand systems that need a strong, friendly display voice, while extended body copy will benefit from larger sizes and looser spacing.
The tone is bold and playful, leaning toward a retro display voice with a friendly, cartoonish confidence. Its chunky silhouettes and quirky cut-ins add personality and movement, making the text feel energetic and attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded silhouette, combining chunky weight with distinctive carved-in details for memorability. It prioritizes display presence and personality over quiet readability, aiming for a retro-leaning, attention-forward look.
In longer lines, the heavy color and tight apertures can make words visually merge, so it reads best with ample tracking and line spacing. The distinctive notched details in letters like S, g, and Q create a branded, emblem-like character that stands out at large sizes.
