A heavy, rounded display sans with compact proportions and generous corner radii throughout. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with gentle swelling at curves and a smooth, ink-trap-free feel. Counters are relatively tight and often vertically oriented, giving letters a sturdy, blocky silhouette. Joins and terminals are consistently softened, and several forms use simplified geometry (notably the lowercase with single-storey constructions and rounded shoulders) for a cohesive, approachable rhythm.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where bold color and rounded forms can carry the message—headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, product packaging, and brand marks with a friendly voice. It can also work for punchy subheads or callouts when paired with a quieter text face.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a distinctly retro poster sensibility. Its soft corners and chunky massing read as warm and informal, while the condensed, upright stance keeps it punchy and headline-ready. It evokes mid-century signage and playful packaging rather than technical or corporate neutrality.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with soft, rounded shapes that keep the weight from feeling harsh. The forms prioritize recognizability and character over neutrality, aiming for a nostalgic, inviting display texture that holds up well in large sizes and bold messaging.
Distinctive shapes like the curved, hook-like J and the bulbous, compact numerals increase personality and make the face feel strongly stylized. Spacing appears tuned for display sizes, where the dense counters and bold color create a solid typographic block; at smaller sizes, the tight interior spaces may require more tracking for clarity.
