A heavy, compact sans with broadly rounded corners and softened joins that give the forms a molded, almost cut-out feel. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with minimal modulation and tight internal counters that enhance the dense, poster-like color on the page. Curves are generous and slightly squarish, and several joins show blunt, flattened terminals that add a distinctive, idiosyncratic rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy and simple, with single-storey shapes (notably in a and g) and a tall, utilitarian dot on i/j that reinforces the blocky texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, packaging callouts, and bold logo wordmarks where its chunky silhouettes can be appreciated. It can also work for playful signage or social graphics, but is less ideal for long passages or small UI text due to its dense counters and strong texture.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a retro sign-painter energy with a cartoonish friendliness. Its compact proportions and softened geometry make it feel informal and attention-seeking rather than sleek or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, retro-leaning voice—prioritizing thick silhouettes, rounded geometry, and distinctive blunt terminals to create an immediately recognizable display sans.
In text, the dense stroke weight and tight apertures can cause letters to visually merge at smaller sizes, while at larger sizes the quirky terminals and rounded rectangles become a defining personality feature. Numerals match the same chunky, soft-cornered construction and read as sturdy, display-oriented figures.
