A compact, heavy sans with rounded geometry and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with gently squared terminals and subtly tapered joins that keep the shapes from feeling mechanical. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and curves (notably in C, G, S, and O) read as smooth, slightly squashed ovals rather than perfect circles. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, short extenders, and small dots on i and j; overall rhythm is dense and emphatic, optimized for impact.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of copy where strong presence is needed, such as posters, packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for playful UI elements, badges, stickers, and social graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes where its dense rhythm stays clear.
The tone is bold and approachable, combining a sturdy “poster” presence with a friendly, slightly quirky warmth. Its rounded shapes and compact stance give it a casual, upbeat feel that leans retro without looking ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint while staying friendly and legible. It balances stout, rounded construction with subtle irregularities to create a distinctive display voice for branding and attention-grabbing typography.
The figures are wide and weighty with rounded corners, matching the letters’ soft, blocky construction. In text, the tight counters and strong black mass create a confident headline texture, while the slightly irregular, hand-cut feel in some curves adds character.
