A heavy, compact display sans with broad, sculpted strokes and softly rounded outer corners. Letterforms show subtle internal notches and wedge-like cut-ins at joins and terminals, creating an ink-trap-like texture and a slightly chiseled silhouette. Counters are generally small and rounded, contributing to a dense, high-impact color on the page. The uppercase feels sturdy and geometric while the lowercase is similarly weighty, with single-storey a and g and short, blunt terminals that keep the rhythm tight at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where its weight and distinctive detailing can be appreciated—posters, storefront signage, packaging callouts, and brand marks. It can work for large-size subheads or emphasis text, but the compact counters suggest avoiding extended body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, mixing retro sign-painting energy with a friendly, approachable warmth. Its chunky shapes and distinctive cut-ins give it a memorable, slightly quirky voice that reads as fun rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, decorative edge, using subtle cut-ins at joins and terminals to add personality and preserve clarity in very heavy strokes. It aims for a bold, retro-leaning display voice that stands out quickly in promotional and identity settings.
Numbers are thick and highly legible with simple, poster-like construction, and the font maintains consistent heaviness across rounds (O, Q, 0) and straights (E, F, H). In text, the dense spacing and small counters amplify impact, while the characteristic notched joins help keep interior spaces from closing up visually.
