A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls, while terminals and joins often resolve into flattened, squared-off edges that give the letterforms a blocky silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with subtle notches and tight apertures in places, producing a dense, poster-like texture. The lowercase is sturdy and geometric, with a single-storey “a,” simple “g,” and generally short extenders, keeping lines visually even and strongly rectangular in rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It also works well for signage and short, high-contrast statements that benefit from a compact, blocky texture.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a retro sign-painting and advertising feel. Its chunky forms read as energetic and optimistic rather than formal, making the voice feel loud, friendly, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with rounded, geometric friendliness, combining smooth bowls with squared terminals for a sturdy, contemporary-retro display voice. It prioritizes impact and personality over delicate detail, aiming for clear, bold shapes that hold up in large-scale applications.
The font’s tight counters and small apertures increase impact at large sizes but can reduce clarity in long passages or at small sizes. Numerals match the heavy, rounded construction and feel well-suited to emphatic labeling and display settings.
