A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact interior rhythm. Strokes are uniformly thick with soft, eased corners and a slightly bouncy baseline feel created by subtly irregular joins and terminals. Counters are relatively small for the weight, while bowls and rounds stay smooth and full, giving letters a dense, poster-like color. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey construction where applicable, with simple, sturdy stems and minimal detailing.
Best suited for headlines, short blurbs, and large-format copy where its dense weight and rounded forms read as confident and inviting. It works well for branding, packaging, and promotional graphics that benefit from a friendly, retro-leaning voice, and it can support logotypes where a soft, substantial silhouette is desired.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, leaning playful rather than technical. Its chunky forms and soft edges evoke a retro, display-forward attitude that feels energetic and informal, suited to bold messaging and personality-driven branding.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a welcoming, rounded voice: a display-oriented sans that prioritizes bold presence, soft geometry, and readable shapes at large sizes. The consistent thickness and simplified structures suggest an emphasis on clarity and character over fine typographic nuance.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep the dense shapes from clogging, but the small counters and heavy joins make it most comfortable at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded, weighty construction for a cohesive headline set.
