A heavy, rounded sans with blocky silhouettes and generously softened corners. Curves are built from broad arcs and circular geometry, while straights terminate in blunt, squared-off ends, creating a sturdy, poster-like texture. Counters are relatively tight and often near-circular, and the overall proportions lean wide with a prominent x-height that keeps lowercase forms large and emphatic. Spacing reads compact in running text, producing a dense, high-impact rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short display lines where maximum impact and personality are desired. It works well for posters, packaging, logos, and playful branding, and can also serve in bold callouts or social graphics where a dense, rounded texture helps text stand out.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a buoyant, slightly cartoonish warmth. Its chunky forms and rounded geometry evoke a retro display feel that reads as fun, energetic, and attention-seeking rather than formal or understated.
The design appears intended to deliver a friendly, high-visibility display voice built from simple geometric forms. Its proportions and compact counters prioritize punchy presence and legibility at large sizes, with a deliberately playful, retro-leaning character.
Distinctive details include single-storey lowercase a and g, a rounded, geometric o-family, and numerals that feel sculpted and graphic. The heavy joins and narrow apertures can close up at smaller sizes, so it visually prefers larger settings where its shapes and counters stay clear.
