A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and softly shaped corners. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with broad counters and smooth, circular curves in letters like C, O, and G. The lowercase is sturdy and simple, with a single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a compact s; terminals tend to end in blunt, slightly softened cuts. Uppercase forms feel geometric and sturdy, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are wide and weighty, maintaining a consistent dark color across the line.
Well suited for headlines and short copy where impact and warmth are needed, such as posters, branding marks, packaging, and storefront or event signage. Its dense, uniform weight also works well for bold callouts, labels, and UI emphasis text when a friendly voice is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining a strong, attention-grabbing weight with friendly rounded forms. It reads as contemporary with a subtle retro poster sensibility, giving text a bold, cheerful presence without feeling sharp or severe.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence with an approachable character: a bold, rounded sans that stays highly legible while adding a touch of playful personality. The consistent stroke weight and simplified forms suggest an emphasis on clear reproduction and strong visual payoff in display settings.
The numerals are large and blocky with simple, readable shapes, matching the alphabet’s dense texture. At display sizes the face creates a strong, even typographic color, with slightly quirky details (notably in the Q tail and some angled joins) that add personality while keeping the rhythm consistent.
