A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Curves are smooth and elliptical, while joins and terminals are clean and blunt, giving the outlines a solid, carved-from-block feel. The lowercase is built from simple, sturdy shapes with a single-storey ‘a’, rounded bowls, and a clear dot on ‘i/j’; overall spacing reads tight and dense, creating dark, even texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and bold brand marks where its dense color and wide forms can dominate the layout. It can also work for packaging and merch graphics, especially when you want a friendly, retro-leaning display voice; for longer paragraphs, its tight counters and heavy texture are likely to feel overpowering.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a friendly softness that keeps the weight from feeling harsh. Its wide stance and rounded geometry evoke retro display typography and sporty signage, leaning toward energetic, attention-grabbing messaging rather than restraint or subtlety.
The design appears intended as a charismatic display sans that maximizes visual impact through width, weight, and rounded construction. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent, simple geometry to stay legible at a glance while projecting an approachable, energetic personality.
Round letters like O/C/G show compressed apertures and thick strokes that emphasize silhouette over interior detail. The numerals follow the same chunky, rounded logic, maintaining strong consistency and a uniform, high-ink presence across the set.
