A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with softened corners and smooth, circular bowls that create a strongly geometric feel. Letterforms show a sturdy, slightly compressed interior space (notably in B, a, e, and s), and the overall rhythm is dense and blocky while remaining clean. Numerals and capitals share the same robust construction, with simple, high-clarity shapes and minimal detail.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense shapes and rounded geometry can deliver maximum impact—headlines, posters, logos, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or social graphics when a friendly, high-energy voice is desired, while longer passages may feel heavy due to the compact counters and strong color.
The tone is bold and approachable, combining a retro, poster-like heft with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry. It reads as energetic and attention-seeking rather than formal, suggesting a fun, contemporary display voice with a nod to vintage signage.
Designed to create a high-impact, friendly display sans that stays clean and geometric while avoiding harshness. The rounded construction and compact counters appear aimed at producing a distinctive, logo-ready texture with strong presence in advertising and branding contexts.
Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey constructions (a, g), reinforcing an informal, modern character. Curves are emphasized over sharp terminals, and the thick horizontals in letters like E and F contribute to a strong, stable baseline presence. The overall silhouette stays consistent across the alphabet, prioritizing impact and immediacy over delicate nuance.
