A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and subtly inflated curves. Strokes are thick and stable with softened corners, producing tight counters and a strong silhouette. Letterforms lean on broad bowls and flattened terminals, and the lowercase shows a tall x-height that keeps words dense and dark on the line. Overall spacing and rhythm feel intentionally irregular in small ways, giving the texture a lively, slightly bouncy cadence in both display sizes and extended text.
Best suited to display typography where impact and personality matter: posters, bold headlines, brand marks, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short blocks of copy when a dense, graphic texture is desired, but its weight and compact counters make it more effective at larger sizes.
The tone is bold and approachable, mixing a retro headline feel with a playful, poster-ready friendliness. Its rounded geometry and chunky proportions read as confident and informal, suited to energetic, attention-grabbing messaging rather than understated refinement.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual presence with a friendly, rounded-rect aesthetic—prioritizing strong silhouettes, tight internal spaces, and a lively rhythm that feels made for bold editorial and promotional settings.
The design’s rounded-rect geometry is especially apparent in bowls, apertures, and curves, which favor superelliptical arcs over perfect circles. Numerals follow the same sturdy, softened construction, maintaining a consistent blocky presence alongside the letters.
