A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact internal space. Curves dominate the design, with softened corners and generous, almost inflated bowls that create a solid, poster-like silhouette. Apertures tend to be small and counters are tight, producing a dense texture in words and a strong black footprint. Stroke endings are blunt and sturdy, with smooth joins and an overall even, stable rhythm across lines of text.
Best used for headlines and short statements where maximum presence is needed, such as posters, storefront signage, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for punchy UI labels or social graphics when set with ample spacing and at sizes that preserve counter detail.
The font reads as bold and approachable, leaning into a playful, retro display tone. Its rounded massing and tight counters give it a loud, confident voice that feels friendly rather than aggressive, making it well-suited to energetic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with a soft, rounded character—combining a strong silhouette with friendly geometry for attention-grabbing, approachable communication.
The numerals and uppercase carry a strong geometric presence, while the lowercase maintains a compact, weighty look that keeps paragraphs visually uniform. At smaller sizes the tight counters and small apertures may reduce clarity, but at headline sizes the forms look clean, cohesive, and impactful.
