A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a solid, compact texture. Curves are built from simple circular and elliptical shapes, while terminals are blunt and gently softened rather than sharp. Counters are relatively small for the weight, giving letters a dense, punchy look, and joins feel sturdy and intentional. The lowercase shows single-storey forms and simple constructions, and the figures are bold and highly legible with clean, uncomplicated silhouettes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding where a compact, rounded sans can deliver strong impact. It also works well for short UI labels or signage when a friendly, high-visibility style is desired, while long body text may feel visually heavy.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a nostalgic display feel that reads as fun and confident. Its thick strokes and rounded geometry create a friendly, informal voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a soft, geometric character—combining simple round construction with blunt terminals to create a modern-retro display voice that remains clear and readable at a glance.
The font maintains consistent stroke endings and curve behavior across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing an even rhythm in words. Large, open exterior shapes contrast with tighter internal counters, which helps it hold together as a strong headline texture at larger sizes.
