A heavy, rounded sans with thick strokes, blunt terminals, and softly eased corners that keep the forms friendly rather than harsh. The lettershapes are built from broad curves and sturdy verticals, with noticeably large counters in round letters and generous internal space in the numerals. Lowercase forms are compact with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders, creating a dense, blocky rhythm. Curves often show subtle angularity at joins (notably in S/s and the diagonals of K/k, V/W), adding a slightly chiseled feel within an overall smooth construction.
Best suited to large-size applications where impact and warmth matter—headlines, posters, packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short, bold UI labels or social graphics, but the dense rhythm and weight suggest using it sparingly for longer passages.
The font reads as bold and approachable, with a lively, slightly retro tone reminiscent of mid-century display lettering and pop signage. Its weight and rounded geometry give it a confident, upbeat voice that feels fun, casual, and attention-grabbing without becoming aggressive.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a friendly, rounded sans structure. The combination of thick strokes, compact lowercase proportions, and open counters suggests an emphasis on legibility at display sizes while maintaining a playful, approachable personality.
Spacing in the sample text appears tight and headline-oriented, helping the letters lock together into strong dark shapes. The lowercase a is single-storey and the g is single-storey with a simple ear, reinforcing an informal, contemporary sans character. Numerals are sturdy and clear, with the 0 and 8 especially open for the weight.
