A very heavy, rounded sans with broad, compact letterforms and soft corners throughout. Curves are full and smooth, with minimal stroke modulation and generous interior counters for the weight. Terminals tend to be blunt and slightly rounded, while several joins and diagonals show subtly chiseled, angled cuts that add rhythm and prevent the shapes from feeling purely geometric. Uppercase forms read blocky and stable; lowercase is similarly robust with single-storey a and g and a pronounced, descending j. Numerals match the mass and roundness, with open, readable shapes and sturdy verticals.
Well suited to headlines and short bursts of text where maximum impact and legibility are needed, such as posters, brand marks, packaging, and storefront or wayfinding signage. It can also work for bold UI accents or promotional graphics, especially when a friendly, rounded voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with a strong, poster-like presence. Its chunky silhouettes and slightly quirky cuts give it a retro, playful flavor while still feeling dependable and straightforward.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, highly legible display sans that feels warm rather than severe. Its rounded construction and subtle angular cuts suggest a goal of blending approachability with a distinctive, attention-grabbing silhouette for branding and headline use.
At display sizes the forms feel confident and characterful; in longer settings the dense weight and compact proportions create strong texture, with the angled cuts on letters like K, N, and Z adding distinctiveness. Spacing appears designed to keep the line visually tight and impactful without collapsing counters.
