A compact, heavy sans with rounded construction and subtly softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing solid, blocky silhouettes and strong color on the page. Counters are generally small and circular-to-oval, and joins are smooth, keeping the overall texture cohesive even at large sizes. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, with broad shoulders and tight apertures that emphasize a stout, sturdy rhythm.
Best suited to display work where bold, compact forms are an asset—such as posters, brand marks, packaging, and short headline lines. It can work for brief emphatic UI labels or pull quotes, but the tight counters and dense weight suggest keeping it out of long, small-size paragraphs.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly retro, headline-driven personality. Its chunky curves and dense counters feel friendly rather than technical, giving text a confident, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice—combining geometric fullness with softened details for approachable, high-visibility typography.
The numerals and capitals lean toward geometric massing, with round letters (O, Q, 8, 9) reading especially prominent due to the thick ring shapes. Diacritics and punctuation aren’t shown in the samples, but the displayed set maintains a consistent, rounded logic across cases and figures.
