A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact internal spaces. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls, while joins and terminals tend to flatten slightly, creating a sturdy, cut-paper silhouette. Diagonals and angled strokes (as seen in K, R, X, and Z) keep a crisp, geometric feel, but corners remain softened. Lowercase forms are simple and bold, with single-storey a and g and short, thick stems; figures are similarly robust and highly graphic.
Best suited for display settings where impact and friendliness are priorities—headlines, posters, bold brand marks, packaging, and promotional graphics. It can also work for short UI banner text or titles, but extended small-size reading may feel dense due to the compact counters and heavy color.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a toy-like solidity that reads as fun rather than formal. Its bouncy roundness and oversized weight give it a retro display flavor that feels confident, loud, and friendly.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual weight with rounded, geometric forms that stay legible and consistent across letters and numerals. It prioritizes a punchy, approachable personality for attention-grabbing typography in branding and display contexts.
The weight pushes counters to be relatively tight in letters like e, a, s, and 8, emphasizing a strong black shape on the page. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample text hold the same blocky softness, helping long lines maintain a consistent, poster-like texture.
