A heavy, rounded sans with wide, stable proportions and a distinctly softened geometry. Strokes are thick and consistent, with gently rounded joins and terminals that keep the silhouettes smooth rather than sharp. Counters are relatively compact, and several forms show slightly squared-off bowls and apertures, creating a sturdy, poster-like texture. Uppercase shapes read broad and blocky, while lowercase remains simple and highly legible, with single-storey forms where expected and a generally even rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold brand moments where strong presence is needed at a glance. It can work for short bursts of text such as packaging callouts, signage, and marketing blocks, especially when ample tracking and leading are used to manage its dense texture.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a sporty, energetic feel with a friendly softness. Its rounded massing and dense color give it a confident, attention-grabbing voice that still feels informal and welcoming, lending a subtle retro display character when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice—prioritizing bold readability and a cohesive, geometric feel for display-forward typography.
The font produces a strong, dark typographic color with minimal sparkle, making it feel solid and weight-forward in paragraphs. Curved letters maintain a consistent roundness, and diagonal-heavy letters (like V/W/X) appear built for impact, contributing to a robust headline presence.
