A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and softly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing compact counters and sturdy joins. Many forms show slightly flattened bowls and rounded-rectangle geometry, giving letters a sculpted, cushioned look. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey shapes and short, robust terminals; overall spacing reads even and dense, optimized for impact at larger sizes.
Best suited to display contexts where strong presence is needed, such as headlines, posters, packaging, storefront or event signage, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of UI or social graphics where a friendly, high-impact voice is desired, rather than long-form reading.
The font feels upbeat and approachable, with a bouncy rhythm that leans toward retro display lettering. Its chunky silhouettes and soft corners communicate warmth and humor, making text look bold and confident without feeling sharp or aggressive.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a friendly, rounded voice, prioritizing bold silhouettes and consistent, simplified shapes for immediate recognition in display settings.
Capitals are strongly geometric with broad shoulders and wide bowls, while the numerals match the same weight and rounded construction, maintaining a cohesive tone across alphanumerics. The overall color on the page is very dark and uniform, so fine internal details are intentionally minimized in favor of clear silhouettes.
