A compact, heavy sans with rounded terminals and smoothly blunted corners throughout. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with gently sculpted joins that keep counters open despite the weight. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with slightly irregular widths across letters that adds a hand-drawn, poster-like texture. Numerals share the same rounded, sturdy construction and read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a bold, friendly presence is needed. It can also work for signage and social graphics, especially when set with generous line spacing to let the dense forms breathe.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a soft, chunky presence that feels informal rather than technical. Its rounded shapes and compact spacing give it a warm, slightly retro voice suited to energetic, consumer-facing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and legibility in a compact footprint, using rounded geometry to keep the weight feeling friendly and contemporary. Its slightly varied letter widths suggest a deliberate move away from rigid uniformity toward a more expressive, approachable display texture.
Curves tend to be generously rounded and bowls are full, while diagonals (like in K, V, W, X) are thick and assertive, reinforcing the sturdy personality. The lowercase shows simple, familiar forms with a single-storey a and g-like shapes that maintain the same friendly, rounded styling.
