A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact, high-impact silhouette. Strokes are thick and even, with smoothly curved joins and softened terminals that keep the forms friendly rather than rigid. Counters are relatively tight and circular, and several letters show subtly angled cuts and tapered joints (notably in diagonals and the ends of some strokes), adding energy to the otherwise solid geometry. Overall spacing feels sturdy and dense, optimized for big, attention-grabbing setting.
Best suited to large-size applications where weight and width can do the work: headlines, posters, title cards, and bold brand statements. It can also fit packaging and signage that benefit from a friendly, high-visibility voice, especially in short phrases and logotype-style settings.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a buoyant, slightly retro flavor. Its chunky curves and soft corners read as friendly and upbeat, while the mass and width give it a confident, poster-like presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, approachable character—combining solid, wide letterforms with rounded geometry and a few energetic cuts to keep the rhythm lively in display typography.
The uppercase feels especially blocky and stable, while the lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey construction where applicable, reinforcing an informal, contemporary display voice. Numerals match the same rounded, weighty build, maintaining strong consistency across the set.
