A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms, with softened corners and mostly uniform stroke thickness. Curves and straight segments meet with crisp, squared-off transitions, giving letters a sculpted, blocky feel while maintaining smooth outer contours. Counters tend to be compact and rectangular, and many glyphs show slightly asymmetric or angled joins that add motion. Numerals are similarly robust and simplified, with wide, stable shapes designed to hold up at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where impact matters—posters, packaging, signage, and bold brand marks. Its compact counters and chunky geometry make it especially effective in large-scale applications and high-contrast layouts, while longer paragraphs will feel dense and attention-grabbing.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, mixing friendliness from the rounded geometry with a slightly quirky, retro display energy. It reads as approachable rather than formal, with a poster-like confidence and a hint of cartoonish charm.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence using rounded-rectangle geometry: a display-friendly sans that feels modern yet nostalgic, balancing strong block shapes with softened corners for an approachable voice.
Round letters like O and Q lean toward squarish superellipse silhouettes rather than perfect circles, and diagonals (such as in A, K, V, W) are kept broad to preserve weight consistency. The lowercase set keeps simple, sturdy constructions, emphasizing legibility through clear silhouettes rather than delicate interior detail.
