A heavy, rounded display sans with broad proportions and a dense, even color on the page. Strokes are thick with subtly tapered joins and softened corners, and many terminals finish in small wedge or teardrop-like cuts that add motion without becoming ornate. Counters are open and generous for the weight, giving the letters a buoyant, slightly bouncy rhythm. Figures are full and rounded, matching the letterforms’ smooth, bold geometry and wide stance.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where its mass and wide proportions can carry impact—posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand lockups. It also works well for playful editorial callouts or display copy where a friendly retro tone is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a distinctly retro, poster-like warmth. Its chunky shapes and lively terminals feel energetic and informal, leaning more toward fun and friendliness than precision or austerity.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with rounded, approachable forms, pairing a strong silhouette with small terminal details that keep the texture lively. The emphasis is on display clarity and personality rather than minimalism or text-first neutrality.
The sample text shows strong word-shape presence and tight, confident silhouettes at large sizes. Curved letters (like C, S, and O) read especially smoothly, while the distinctive terminal cuts add character that becomes more noticeable in longer lines.
