A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded outer curves balanced by flat, blunt terminals. The design relies on near-circular bowls and simple, sturdy stems, with counters that stay relatively small at this weight. Curves transition smoothly into straight segments, and joins are clean and simplified, creating a compact, poster-like texture in text. Uppercase forms are strong and blocky, while the lowercase maintains similarly robust structure with single-storey a and g and generous, rounded shapes.
Best suited to display typography where impact and warmth are desired—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold UI moments like hero banners or section titles. It can also work for short blocks of text when large enough, but its heavy weight and tight counters favor larger sizes and moderate line lengths.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a playful, slightly retro sensibility. Its chunky forms and simplified geometry give it a confident, attention-grabbing presence that feels friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with minimal typographic fuss: a geometric, rounded sans that stays clear and cohesive while projecting a fun, contemporary-retro personality.
The font builds a consistent rhythm through repeated circular motifs (notably in O, C, G, and numerals) and squared-off cuts in letters like E, F, T, and Z. At display sizes it reads cleanly and evenly, while dense settings emphasize its compact counters and solid color.
